The UK is facing a second weather “event" of the year with a blistering heatwave threatening to spark an extended drought.
Temperatures could soar up to 35C (95F) during a ten day scorcher this week, prompting fears of even more “terrifying” wildfires.
The Environment Agency (EA) has warned they are seeing the “early signs of drought” and The Met Office say there is little chance of rain on the horizon.
