UK braces for record heatwave and wildfires

Britain’s weather service has issued an extreme‑heat warning, forecasting temperatures up to 36 °C across much of England and Wales – the highest in thirty years.

The heatwave has already ignited a fast‑moving wildfire in Scarborough, prompting evacuations and a massive response from fire crews.

Local authorities are urging residents to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor exertion during peak heat, and follow evacuation orders if necessary.

The event marks the most severe summer heat Britain has experienced in three decades.
