Britain braces for heatwave with orange alerts
England is expecting a new heatwave with temperatures reaching around 36°C, along with increasing orange health warnings in nine regions. This comes after the country recorded 34 days this year where temperatures exceeded 30°C, matching the number from 1995, with potential for that to be surpassed. This coincides with a historic drought, as England faces its lowest water levels and wildfires have broken out in natural areas such as New Forest Park. The health risks are also rising, including dehydration and heatstroke, while putting additional pressure on healthcare and environmental services. Authorities confirm that climate change is making heatwaves and droughts more frequent and intense, prompting measures to strengthen water infrastructure and reduce their impacts.
