UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is convening an emergency meeting to address the impacts of the fifth heatwave of the year, with temperatures expected to reach 37°C. The meeting will focus on measures to manage extreme temperatures, wildfires, and drought conditions. The dry weather has led to numerous wildfires, with 966 incidents reported this year. Agricultural representatives warn that drought may reduce production. The majority of the UK is experiencing severe drought, with 45 million people affected and 27 million facing water use restrictions. The heat has also strained the healthcare system, with nearly 2,877 heat-related deaths reported this year.
