The fifth heatwave of the year is expected to ease next week as temperatures drop closer to seasonal averages across the country. Prolonged dry weather has placed about 70 per cent of England and Wales in drought, leaving 27 million people under water-use restrictions. The Met Office forecasts potential rain for parts of the UK next week, though dry southern areas may see only light rainfall initially. High pressure could return towards the end of August, potentially bringing a sixth heatwave of the summer and further prolonged warm weather. In fullWhen will the UK heatwave finally end?
