UK Heatwave Shatters Records
Description
UK swelters through record-breaking June heat, with 36.7°C in Somerset sparking school closures, hosepipe bans, and transport chaos. Ambulances are overwhelmed, hospitals cancel surgeries, and officials warn of deadly risks — especially for those mixing alcohol with heat. A tragic beach drowning and raging wildfires underscore the danger. The Met Office extends red alerts until Friday, but cooler weather is forecast for the weekend. London’s first-ever heat plan includes public air conditioning as cities brace for more frequent, extreme heatwaves linked to climate change.
