## Resource

Britain’s worst spring drought in 50 years shows no sign of easing as forecasters warn weekend rain won’t cut it—plants are dying, reservoirs are running low, and heatwaves may stretch for nearly 20 days. A yellow heat alert is in place for the West of England, warning vulnerable people and health services of risk. Farmers are losing crops, councils are urging residents to water trees, and some water companies have already imposed hosepipe bans as the country edges toward official drought status.
