The school-age children drowned over a long weekend including a public holiday on Monday as temperatures soared to reach record-breaking levels near London this week.

In Lincolnshire in northeast England, a 15-year-old boy drowned Sunday, police said.

The father of the boy, named as Declan Sawyer, issued a warning to other families about the dangers of children “playing near any rivers and lakes in the hot weather”.

A teenage girl was pronounced dead after being pulled out of water Monday evening at a water park in Warwickshire in central England, police said.

In Yorkshire in the northeast, one boy drowned in a reservoir Monday and a 13-year-old boy’s body was recovered early Tuesday at a country park, police said.
