## Resource

UK heatwave hits record-breaking streak with 28 days over 30°C this year, including a 31°C peak in Herefordshire — but relief is on the way as cooler air moves in this weekend. The prolonged dry spell has sparked nearly 500 wildfires and the longest droughts in central England and the South East in a century. While next week remains dry, a potential shift could arrive by July 25th — still short of the 34-day record set in 1995. With schools out and 14 million drivers expected on the roads this weekend, traffic will be at a boil. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
