Heatwave Hits Manchester Amid Drought Warnings | Manchester News

Heatwave alert for Greater Manchester as temps soar to 29°C — but don’t relax just yet. With drought gripping much of the UK and millions under water restrictions, United Utilities says they’re holding strong thanks to a wet spring, though record demand during last week’s heatwave pushed usage past two billion liters daily. Businesses, farmers, and fire services are all using more water — so even with healthy reservoirs, conservation is still key. This is the fourth heatwave this summer, with southern regions bracing for temperatures over 30°C. But the Met Office warns: this scorcher won’t last — expect a wilder, more changeable August with showers and drier spells on the way.
