Episode Details

Britain’s baking under a relentless heatwave, now officially declared a drought in some areas — but brace yourself: thunderstorms and downpours are on the way, especially up north. The real danger? Flash floods from rain hitting parched ground, with driveways at high risk as dry tarmac and shrinking sand create hidden channels for water to seep under. Experts urge you to clear drains, sweep fresh sand into paving gaps, and avoid pressure washing before storms — it could worsen flooding. A little prep now could save you big repair bills later.
