## Resource

UK summer’s breaking records with blistering heat and record-breaking dry spells—some areas haven’t seen rain in over four weeks, triggering hosepipe bans and wildfires. While the north may get drier due to high pressure, the south could see more rain from low-pressure systems, but heat is likely to linger, especially in England and Wales, with more heatwaves on the way into early August. Forecasters warn of uncertainty as long-range predictions remain tricky, but scientists confirm climate change is amplifying these extreme weather events.
