Episode Details

England braces for scorching temperatures hitting mid-30s, with amber heat health alerts sweeping the nation — including Yorkshire and the Humber — as a punishing summer pushes the country toward worsening drought. The Met Office warns Thursday will be peak heat, followed by a brutal return of warmth after a brief Monday cool-down. This follows a record-breaking summer already linked to 42 open-water deaths, struggling livestock, failed harvests, and wildfires. Half of England and all of Wales are in drought, with hosepipe bans affecting millions after July became the driest on record — some counties saw zero rain. Even weekend showers won’t fix the deepening water crisis, a stark warning of climate change’s escalating impact.
