NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
2022 is on course to be the hottest in UK history, provisional Met Office data suggests.
Most of England remains in drought after a fire-hit summer that saw temperatures top 40°C for the time ever.
The unseasonably-high temperatures last month made it the seventh-warmest October since records began in 1884.
And concerns remain that unless there is consistent, significant rainfall over the coming months, there could be further water shortages next year.
