England, Wales had driest July on record: Met Office

The UK Met Office reported that England and Wales experienced the driest July on record, with England receiving just 10% of its average rainfall. The month was also the sunniest ever recorded in Britain, marked by record-breaking dryness, warmth, and sunshine. England recorded 6.5mm of rain, while Wales had 9.3mm, both significantly below averages. No significant rainfall is expected in the coming week, exacerbating ongoing drought conditions. Water restrictions have been implemented in some areas, impacting agriculture, wildlife, and public water use. Environmental groups expressed concern over the ecological impacts and called for stronger adaptation strategies to address increasingly extreme weather linked to climate change.
