AI Summary
A village in Surrey has recorded 50 consecutive days without rain this summer, surpassing the previous record from 1976, as high pressure continues to block rainfall across much of England and Wales. The UK Health Security Agency has issued yellow heat health alerts for most of England this weekend, as temperatures are expected to rise again. The dry conditions are caused by a persistent zone of high pressure that prevents rain clouds from forming, with only minimal rainfall recorded in July.
