England and Wales face historic drought
Britain recorded July 2026 as the driest July since record-keeping began in 1836, due to intense heatwaves and reduced rainfall, with total precipitation amounting to 6.5 millimeters in England and 9.3 millimeters in Wales—significantly below seasonal averages. The UK also experienced its second hottest month ever, accompanied by heatwave warnings that resulted in over 2,877 heat-related deaths beyond normal levels. This led to exceptional drought conditions, with dust storms and widespread damage in southern areas, and temperatures rising to 31°C, with forecasts indicating a subsequent decrease.
