It comes days after a 12-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy were tragically pronounced dead after a major incident at Bournemouth beach on Wednesday.
Lifeguards hurried into the water by Bournemouth Pier after a group of people got into difficulty in the sea at around 4.30pm.
A further eight people were treated by the ambulance service at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries.
A subsequent investigation has been launched into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Met Office meteorologist Rachel Ayers said people can expect 24C or 25C in the warmer spots tomorrow and there could even be a high of 26C in sheltered areas in the west.

She said there was a low chance of 26C being recorded, adding: ‘We’d be looking at that somewhere in the west, probably similar kind of areas, parts of Wales, maybe south-west England.’
Ms Ayers said a breeze across the south, particularly English Channel coasts, will affect temperatures in those areas.
Eastern coasts will see temperatures on Sunday of around 15C or 16C, while inland areas will be warmer with highs of 18C to 20C.
The Met website has urged people to take precautions as temperatures rise over the summer period.
These include drinking plenty of non-alcoholic fluids and reapplying an appropriate factor sun cream at regular intervals throughout the day.
They also urge people to eat as you normally would, as not eating properly may exacerbate health-related problems.
