## Resource

Another scorching heatwave is hitting the UK, with temperatures soaring to 34°C and a yellow heat health alert in place across much of England—including London—this weekend. Health officials are urging the vulnerable to take extra precautions. Meanwhile, Southern Water has imposed a hosepipe ban in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight starting July 10th, citing dangerously low river levels—25% below normal—due to record-breaking spring and summer heat. The ban targets non-essential water use like garden watering, pool filling, and car washing, with exemptions for medical needs. The restriction will lift once river and reservoir levels recover. This follows last month’s record 37.7°C, and while this heatwave may be less humid, it’s expected to linger for a full week.
