## Resource

Another scorching heatwave is hitting the UK, with temperatures soaring to 34°C in the south-east for a week — not as extreme as last month’s record-breaking 37.7°C, but still dangerous for the vulnerable. Yellow heat alerts are in place across England, urging caution, hydration, and checking on neighbors. Meanwhile, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight have slapped a hosepipe ban starting July 10th to save water. Scientists warn these heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense — and the UK is feeling the heat.
