## Resource

UK swelters under record-breaking heat, with 36.7°C in Somerset shattering June highs — and it’s happening twice in a row. Thunderstorms loom as the Met Office issues warnings, straining ambulances (nearly 4,000 calls in one day) and derailing trains. Libraries and churches become vital “cool spaces” as people battle extreme temps, some sleeping on floors for relief. Even as heat eases, storms bring risks: power cuts, flash floods, and winds up to 60 mph. A red heat alert remains active until 11 PM Friday — the danger isn’t over.
