all in whitby, -- guess. i will say thank you. all in whitby, —— paul in whitby, good luck.ifferent industries where, in theory, they think we could do what is required of us but we haven't got the detail, so thanks for that, i'm sure we will do more in the next few weeks on that as people plan their holidays. i do want to interview paul when they open up because he will be smiling, hopefully. away from staycations, many of us are still hoping to travel abroad this summer. the independent‘s travel editor, simon calderjoins us now. simon, how likely is it looking? some lovely blue skies here and some people think why not stay at home, but as we all know, plenty of people wa nt to but as we all know, plenty of people want to go away. what indications are you getting as to how that might come about in practice? well, bear in mind that the foreign office for the last three months has warned against all but essential travel anywhere abroad and that stays in place and that means that your travel insurance would be void if you decided to travel. add to that the fact that since the

but these hot weather seekers in whitby showed how social distancing can work.tions. we thought, "we'll bring the kids out there, they haven't been out in three months," and we heard the beach was really busy yesterday, but we didn't want to come out when it was busy so we thought we'll come out quite early. uv levels are expected to be unusually high, meaning a greater risk of sunburn. but in contrast to the government's stay—at—home message in recent weeks, people across the uk are now free to enjoy the hot weather. we are just asked to take precautions and respect social distancing. sean dilley, bbc news. our correspondent sian lloyd is in staffordshire. how is it there? it is absolutely boiling here this lunchtime. you don't really get much more synonymous with summer than british strawberries, and at this fruit farm just outside tamworth, it has been really busy with people enjoying the sizzling temperatures but also making the most of the easing of those lockdown restrictions certainly in england which is allowing people to come to places like this at the

elsewhere, this was whitby — people were making more of an effort to spread out. likely to be an issue for much of the summer. temperatures, though, are expected to dip at the weekend. jon donnison, bbc news. that makes it the perfect moment to check the weather forecast. matt taylor has that. let's talk about that heat and those record uv levels. we really need to take care outside today, don't we? we certainly do. a double whammy for those who don't like the heat and if you're spending time outdoors, but let's concentrate on the heat, widely into the 30s in england and wales and glasgow and aviemore could get close to 30 celsius as well but it's unusually strong sunshine across the country, particularly across the country, particularly across southern across the country, particularly across southern areas across the country, particularly across southern areas with sunshine levels we are not used to and that means a short amount of time before your skin is damaged, and for many it will be sunshine from dawn to dusk. cloud in northern scotland, thunderstorms and m

the first thing i would do, if i had more control, whitby to issue people with more information on a care, empower people and say look at the risk in your own community and act accordingly and avoid places that clearly are the hotspots. it's this kind of approach that i think we need to get to, that would take us toa we need to get to, that would take us to a new phase. but it is the right way to go in my opinion. how much responsibility do want aif you had that information, and it showed that greater manchester, the r rate was rising significantly there, which you say, if he could, i am going to reverse some elements of lockdown, i will not allow people to go out and meeting groups of six and seven,is go out and meeting groups of six and seven, is that what you would like to be able to do! think the reality of that data, if we had that local picture and we were able to give it to people very clearly, it would show it is not a uniform problem over greater manchester. that the hotspot moves around. it would be a message to one particular community and working with the community to ta
