Visitors to the Lake District are being urged to take precautions in the heat as people flock to waterside locations during the heatwave. The national park authority has warned people to take particular care when swimming and out walking.
People heading to the Lake District may try to make the most of the sunny weather but with temperatures expected to reach the mid-30s in the next couple of days, walking on the fells can pose a risk to your health. People are urged to plan their routes in advance, bring plenty of water with them and wear sunscreen and layers of clothes.
Even seasoned walkers are advised to plan ahead and make sure they have the correct skills and equipment to deal with the weather. Those who are planning on swimming in the lakes have also been advised to stay safe.

One of the park’s lake rangers, Jack Holmes, said: “While the water is very tempting with the current weather conditions, it’s important that people plan ahead and make sure they have all the knowledge and skills they need to keep safe. It’s imperative that people don’t get tempted to go for a dip after drinking alcohol as that’s never a good idea.
“Our deep lakes and tarns in the Lake District can be cold, even on a hot summer’s day. Sudden exposure to cold water can cause cold water shock which can cause swimmers to gasp and inhale water. This can quickly lead to drowning.
“Other considerations for potential swimmers to take in account are to think about other lake users like ferry services and other boating traffic. People should be aware that there are often rocks and hazards under the water that you can't see, and the water may be shallower than you

Developers criticise “demoralising” lack of anti-cheat support from Roblox
Roblox developers have criticised the lack of support from the Roblox Corporation in providing adequate anti-cheat tools, saying it’s becoming “demoralising and exhausting” to create within the platform.Back in April, a developer named Hutch took to the Roblox Developer Forum to start a thread titled “Developers are not equipped to deal with exploiters” (via PCGamesN). In his initial message, he wrote “This is a post targeting the severe lack of tooling and support provided by Roblox in regards to exploiting and dealing with generally abusive users.”Are you a Roblox dev? Exploiters have you burnt? Tell me about it: https://t.co/dCbWmnNVeF— Liam Hutch (@LMH_Hutch) April 27, 2022“Despite my best efforts to build functioning anti-cheats and arm my moderators with tools I will never be able to build a better culture for my communities so long as Roblox as a whole fails to address exploiting in a more hands on way,” they added.Yesterday (August 2) Hutch posted an update, saying that since Apocalypse Rising 2 went free-to-play, their moderation team have handed out nearly 3000 bans with another 25,343 bans coming through anti-cheat software.It's been a month since #ApocalypseRising2 released for free! In that time we gained 6M visits.
