Heatwaves Expose Hidden Struggles for Disabled People | UK News

from UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

This summer’s heatwaves are hitting disabled people harder than most realize—service dogs struggling, wheelchairs overheating, batteries draining, and homes becoming unbearable. Journalists like Emily Davison must cancel trips to protect her guide dog, actors like Jimmy Macfarlane risk being stranded as lifts fail, and visually impaired Claire Sisk faces dangerous trade-offs between safety and comfort. With emergency plans ignoring these realities, disabled folks face isolation, financial strain, and daily battles just to stay safe—while climate change makes things worse.
