Summary

UK braces for record-breaking heatwave hitting 41°C, risking nationwide blackouts as power grids strain under soaring demand.

Prepare now: stock up on flashlights, charge your phone, and check on vulnerable neighbors. The Met Office says this isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s a serious emergency.
