## Resource

England’s Met Office has issued its most severe red heat warning yet, covering 36 areas from Wednesday to Thursday as temperatures soar to 37°C in the shade and up to 40°C in some spots — with dangerously high humidity making nights unbearable. Expect widespread chaos: power, water, and phone networks at risk, plus a spike in water safety incidents and major travel disruptions across roads, trains, and planes. This extreme heat, rare for the UK, demands urgent changes to daily life — and everyone, not just the vulnerable, must adapt or face serious consequences.
