## Resource

Another brutal heatwave is bearing down on the UK, with temperatures soaring to 34°C in the South East — hotter than last month’s peak but lasting longer. The Met Office warns of dangerous conditions, especially for the vulnerable, while Southern Water imposes a hosepipe ban from July 10th in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight due to critically low river levels. Health authorities have issued yellow heat alerts across key regions, including London, urging caution as hospitals brace for increased pressure. Residents are being asked to conserve water, with exemptions for those with medical needs — and the ban will lift once water reserves recover.
