2025 Members of the public have been urged to stay out of the water at three Midlands rivers as temperatures are set to get hotter. Surfers Against Sewage, one of the UK’s leading marine
conservation charities, has warned people against entering rivers at three sites in Shropshire. These are the River Severn at Ironbridge, the River Severn at Shrewsbury and the River Teme at
Ludlow. READ MORE: 37 COUNTIES IN ENGLAND SET TO SIZZLE IN MINI HEATWAVE AS TEMPERATURES REACH 31C GET BREAKING NEWS ON BIRMINGHAMLIVE WHATSAPP, CLICK THE LINK TO JOIN For each of these
three locations, Surfers Against Sewage has stated that "bathing is not advised" due to poor annual classification. Article continues below The charity provides real-time
information about water quality at 600 locations across the UK through its Safer Seas & Rivers Service (SSRS), warning whether the water is safe to enter or not. At the Ironbridge
location, SSRS states the bathing water is located around 450m upstream of the Iron Bridge, while in Shrewsbury the bathing water is located on a stretch of the river close to the centre of
the town. In Ludlow, the bathing area stretches from the Linney boating pontoon around 200m downstream to the Ludlow Mill Brach. It comes as temperatures are set to enter the mid to high 20s
later this month. Weather maps from WX Charts show the mercury rising to 30C in Kent, east of London, while Shropshire could experience temperatures of 23C on the same day, on Wednesday,
June 18. Article continues below In its long range weather forecast from June 17 to July 1, the Met Office said: "Changeable weather is most likely across the UK with a mixture of
Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west interspersed with dry and sunny periods, perhaps with a bias towards longer dry spells early in the period. "Temperatures are most
likely to be near or slightly above normal, perhaps with some hot spells at times especially across the south."
