  • Half of England officially in ‘exceptionally serious’ drought

    Environment Agency names seven regions affected by unusually hot and dry weather and shortage of water

    Half of England is officially in drought, with July set to be the driest on record after winter floods, the Environment Agency has said.

    The “flash drought” developed quickly because of unusually low rainfall and high temperatures.

  • Spain faces ‘complex’ three days with risks of heatwave and strong winds reigniting some fires – Europe live

    Authorities fear progress in containing the fires in the Gironde and Madrid regions may be set back by temperatures expected to hit the low 40s

    in Brussels

    The European Union’s crisis-management team is expecting difficult weeks ahead, fearing a further outbreak of wildfires in Italy and Greece as the summer goes on.

    “A firefighter will focus on protecting people. They will focus on protecting houses, protecting a business, a company, because this is something that matters for all our society. And indeed, sometimes by focusing on that, they cannot extinguish fire, [as] they would do it if it would be just forest.

    So this is new, this is worrying. And of course also, this means that we need to adapt our methods of fighting the fires.”

  • Caribbean bears brunt of £43bn climate-fuelled damage to developing islands

    Findings can inform conversations about global climate reparations and financing for mitigations, researchers say

    Caribbean nations suffered $53.2bn (£40bn) of damage from climate-fuelled disasters between 2000 and 2024, research into the cost of the climate crisis to developing small islands has found.

    The figure is more than 90% of the total $57bn in economic damage caused by floods, storms and drought across 39 developing island nations in the Caribbean, the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, according to a study by development thinktank ODI Global.

  • Repeated use of saunas could help people cope better in heatwaves, scientists say

    Growing number of studies assessing whether heat training can help people prepare for scorching temperatures

    Even as summer temperatures soar, the sauna trend is booming, with some venues touting them as a way to beat the heat. But while experts have urged caution about sweatingit out in hot weather, a growing number of studies are considering whether heat training could help people prepare for heatwaves.

    With parts of the UK experiencing their fourth heatwave of the year, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued heat health alerts across much of England. The warnings follow an unprecedented summer, with western Europe experiencing its hottest June on record.

  • The Great Lakes’ most emblematic fish could be consigned to history books

    A delicacy for centuries and a key part of Native tradition, the lake whitefish has seen its population crash. Researchers know why … but stopping it is another matter

    From the basement of the Sandusky library, page 29 of the book Sandusky of To-Day proclaims the town to be the “largest fresh water fish market in the world”. Two pages later, an image of the lake whitefish, referred to as “Sandusky’s pride”, takes up the entire page.

    But the book was published in 1888.

  • Organic eggs have worse impact on climate than eggs from caged chickens

    Adopting organic free-range model in UK could lead to greenhouse emissions equivalent to 2,316,000 tonnes of CO2, study suggests

    Organic eggs are twice as bad for the climate as eggs from chickens living in cages, research suggests.

    According to the study, switching the UK’s entire egg production to an organic free-range model would lead to greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 2,316,000 tonnes of CO2 (tCO2e), while production through a fully caged system would emit 1,184,000 tCO2e.

  • Birdwatch: A song thrush connects me with the great-grandfather I never knew

    No other bird speaks to us quite so directly, its serenade conjuring memories of old family tales

    I wake early on these bright summer mornings. And now that the birds in my garden have mostly fallen silent, only one is still serenading me at this hour: the aptly named song thrush. Its measured, deliberate repetitions – which this particular bird has provided without a break since the turn of the year – are unmistakable.

    Whenever I hear a song thrush, I’m taken back in time. First, to my childhood, when the first sign of spring was when thrushes started singing from the roofs of our suburban housing estate as I walked home from school in the dim light of a February afternoon.

  • A ​decade on the Iberian ​frontline​ has shown me that Europe’s ​climate ​emergency​ is ​impossible to ​deny

    What once felt exceptional now arrives with grim regularity​ all over the continent, and it will only get worse

    Spain has changed immeasurably since I arrived here 10 years ago to begin work as the Guardian’s Madrid correspondent.

    Over that time, the push for Catalan independence has exploded, sputtered and faded out; the Covid pandemic has hit with unimaginable ferocity, before seeming to linger for a face-masked eternity; and Podemos and Ciudadanos – the two upstart parties that once seemed likely to alter the Spanish political landscape irrevocably – have risen and fallen.

  • ‘The heat took him from me’: India’s death toll rises amid escalating heat crisis

    As extreme heat claims the lives of workers in India’s poorest areas, many fear the true mortality rate is being dangerously undercounted

    The morning air was already hot and cloying when Palli Mahalaxmi rose at about 5am. It was May, and in the summer heatwave that had engulfed this corner of southern India, even night-time did not give the villagers respite.

    A single ceiling fan hung above Mahalaxmi, her husband and her son as they slept in a small windowless room made of thick concrete. Mahalaxmi set about preparing breakfast, and the family ate together from steel plates, just as they did every morning. Sweat dripped from their foreheads as the sun rose higher.

  • ‘They’re part of folklore’: storks return to Derbyshire after 600-year absence

    Conservationists are thrilled at the arrival of three juvenile birds at Willington Wetlands, hoping more will follow

    A long orange beak poked curiously out from its wooden crate, followed by a sleek head and slender body. Then the first white stork of the morning flapped its wings and took to the air. Moments later a second emerged tentatively to stalk through the long grass, followed closely by a final sibling who stretched its wings and explored the length of the enclosure.

    The trio of juvenile white storks have just arrived at their new home in Willington Wetlands in Derbyshire and conservationists are hopeful that their presence will kickstart the return of the birds to the Midlands after an absence of more than 600 years.
