No Water, Record Heat Hits Portishead

Portishead’s residents woke up to no water after a power outage knocked out the pumping station—now they’re relying on a generator to restore pressure, all while bracing for the hottest day of the year. With temperatures soaring to 38°C, high UV, and humidity, the UK’s heatwave shows no signs of slowing, prompting a red heat alert for the southwest. Bristol Water apologizes for the disruption and says service is being restored as fast as possible, though no timeline is set. Thunderstorms may offer relief later, but for now, people are coping with extreme heat and a critical water shortage. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
