England’s Fourth Heatwave Hits | Belfast News

England faces its fourth heatwave this summer, with scorching temperatures hitting 35°C in the South East and severe drought gripping the country—just 1% of July’s average rainfall in some areas. July is already 3°C above average, possibly the hottest on record, triggering hosepipe bans, water conservation pleas, and drought declarations in Wales. Farmers are reeling as crops and livestock suffer, while wildfire risks soar after last month’s blazes. Across Europe, hundreds of thousands flee wildfires in France and Spain. Scientists blame human-driven climate change for these escalating extremes. Amber health alerts are in place as the heat intensifies before cooler air arrives from the north.
