Episode Details

UK summers are becoming dangerously hot, with record-breaking temperatures shattering norms and forcing urgent adaptation across society. Last June, Somerset hit 36.7°C — triggering a red alert — as heatwaves increasingly disrupt daily life, shutter schools, strain hospitals, and damage infrastructure. Since 2015, days over 30°C have tripled, with extreme heat now a regular threat to health, transport, and buildings. Schools scramble for cooling solutions, hospitals ramp up emergency plans, and railways and roads adopt heat-resistant upgrades. While emissions reductions are underway, experts warn that without coordinated, proactive action, hotter summers and wetter winters will become the new reality for everyone.
