Britain faces record wildfires during heatwave
Wildfires in England and Wales reached record levels amid the escalating heatwave and danger, with the number of fires so far this year surpassing the total for 2022, which was 1,017 fires. The fire season is expected to continue until November. The rising temperatures have led to the fifth-highest temperature ever recorded in London at 38.1°C, along with increased drought in various areas, resulting in damage to homes and widespread evacuations. These efforts come amidst coordinated responses from fire services and the military, with warnings about heightened fire risks as hot and dry conditions persist.
