July is considered summer and the warmest month of the year when in the UK, the temperature intersected 40C for the first time, as climate change has led to intense heat waves.

The heat waves led to the decay of many homes and cars due to high temperatures.

According to Met Office data from the year 1836, the UK witnessed the sixth-driest summer on record and the driest since 1995.

Due to the high temperature in the UK, the country suffered from drought after months of less rainfall, with severe hot and dry conditions leading to the drying up of rivers, damaging crops, and drying up of rivers fuelling wildfires that have destroyed homes and land.
