Households across England are being urged to refrain from lighting fires, and retailers have been asked to ban the sale of disposable barbecues, due to another impending heatwave.
The Met Office said on Tuesday (9 August) that temperatures will build as the week goes on, reaching a peak in the mid-30s on Friday and Saturday.
After the driest July in England since 1935, the continued lack of rain is raising the risk of more wildfires.
Many households will face hosepipe bans in the south and southeast of the country.

Just because you were lucky enough to get some rain doesn't mean it's filled the aquifers or wet the ground enough for it not to be parched any more.

We’ve got thousands of W⚓️’s on holiday here in Cornwall disposing of their ‘disposable’ BBQ’s whilst they are still smouldering - burying them in the sand at the beach or just being thrown into hedges, fields or woods … Stupidity is a one part recipe for Disaster, to think these folk used to go abroad …

Why isn't the cloud seeding weather modification working now ?
@Logarithm906
@Logarithm906 Жыл бұрын
cloud seeding isn't a magic science bullet. It requires the right temperature and the right humidity to be up there already, and neither are. E.g. You need well over a 60% humidity for it to work and the UK isn't even at 40% humidity atm. All cloud seeding does is encourage what's likely to happen sooner or later anyway, you can make it rain, say 100 miles sooner than it otherwise would but you can't change the season/current climate.

Why can't we just copy what more developed nations do instead? When I was in Japan, Spain, Mexico, Florida, or France, it was much hotter than this. And what's more, they all had water sprinklers going, AC systems to keep cool, and no hosepipe bans - Plenty of people were watering their gardens. If they have it hotter, but manage better, then it must be something our country isn't doing right. How can it be the 21st century, and homes here still don't have AC... England is quickly becoming more and more like a third world nation. What's worse, instead of the government investing in new infrastructure, it's the people that are just given new restrictions. The people of England are regulated and oppressed into submission on everything. If it's not tax for fuel, alcohol, cigarettes, or sugar, then it's a new nanny state regulation. What's next? Can't buy pre-sharpened pencils without a license and a waiting period?

Simply because its hot in those countries all the time. They were built on heat. However, England is a very wet country that typically doesn't need to supply as much pumped water and we don't need AC 98% of the year.

It's not the heat per se. It's the lack of sufficient rain over the last few months, meaning the land is parched. And if you want AC, what's stopping you from getting it installed in your house? Even in hot countries not all homes have ac. Guess what? The homeowners have to get them installed themselves Nothing to do with the government.
