英国气象局报告，英国即将面临新一轮热浪袭击[1]。从8月11日起，英国全境气温将全面回升[1]，至8月14日热浪达到峰值，英格兰东南部局部最高气温可达35摄氏度[1]。英国卫生安全局已向英格兰大部分地区发布黄色高温健康预警，预警持续至当地时间8月11日21时[1]。
持续的晴热少雨天气正在加重英国的干旱状况。英格兰超半数区域和威尔士全境已处于干旱状态[1]，五座水库水位处于极低级别[1]。萨里郡威斯利地区已连续超50天无有效降水[1]。为应对水资源短缺，英国西南水务公司自8月8日起实施了软管用水禁令[1]。目前，全英超2000万民众生活区域已实施用水管控措施[1]。
The UK Met Office has warned of an incoming heatwave affecting Britain, with temperatures set to rise significantly from August 11 onwards [1]. The peak of this heat event is expected on August 14, when parts of southeastern England could reach highs of 35 degrees Celsius [1]. In response, the UK Health Security Agency has issued yellow heat-health alerts covering most of England, remaining in effect until 9 p.m. local time on August 11 [1].
The prolonged dry and hot conditions are exacerbating drought concerns across the country. More than half of England and all of Wales are now classified as being in drought status [1]. Five reservoirs have fallen to critically low water levels [1], and the Surrey district of Westley has experienced over 50 consecutive days without meaningful rainfall [1]. Water restrictions have already been imposed, with South West Water implementing a hosepipe ban beginning August 8 [1], affecting over 20 million people across the nation [1].
