Britain faces third, more extensive heatwave
LONDON, July 12, (Xinhua): Britain is bracing for its third heatwave of the year with exceptionally hot and dry weather conditions prevailing in large parts of the country. According to the Met Office, vast expanses of Britain have met the official heatwave criteria, with hot, dry and sunny weather persisting into this weekend. High pressure remains dominant and temperatures are forecast to reach highs of 33-34 degrees Celsius in some regions over the next two days. Met Office Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington said, "The current heatwave is more widespread than previous heatwaves this summer." On Friday, the UK Health Security Agency and the Met Office issued an amber heat-health alert for much of England. Under the weather-health alerting system in use, an amber heat-health alert indicates that weather impacts are likely to be felt across the whole health service. At this alert level, health impacts may begin to be observed among the wider population. There is an increased risk for individuals aged over 65, and those with pre-existing health conditions, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The Environment Agency has reported that England is experiencing the driest start to a year since 1976. In June, reservoir levels declined at nearly three-quarters of monitored sites, with all regions now recording below-average water storage. The agency has warned that continued dry conditions could place further pressure on water resources and the environment. Dr Tim Fox, fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and co-author of a report on climate change adaptation, emphasized that the recent heatwaves in Britain are not isolated events but are expected to become increasingly common in the future. "As UK summers become hotter, with longer periods of high temperature extremes, the impact will reach far beyond personal discomfort," he said.

The heat will continue into Saturday, when temperatures could reach 31 degrees Celsius in parts of central and north-east Scotland, which would make it the hottest day of the year so far north of the border. The heat spreading across the UK marks the third official heatwave of 2025 already.

Honor Flight Syracuse
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Over the last dozen years or so, Honor-Flight Syracuse has taken nearly 1,600 military veterans to Washington, D.C. as a way to thank them for their service. NewsChannel 9's Tim Fox was on the latest mission to capture the moments that the veterans say they will remember for the rest of their lives. Honor Flight Syracuse Mission 22 was planned with military precision, moving 82 veterans from Central and Northern New York and the Mohawk Valley around some of the most sacred monuments in the Nation's capital. Some twelve hours after they took off from Hancock Airport, they're back. Mission accomplished. But not without one more chance for Central New Yorkers by the thousands to say thank you for all you've done for our country. 'When I came home in '70, we had to sneak home. Nobody cared. Nobody wanted to know about you. I appreciate everything here today that everyone's done for me,' Ron Cihocki, an army veteran from West Leyden, said.

The MOST opens new Onondaga Grown exhibit in partnership with the Food Bank of CNY
(WSYR-TV) — There's always fun to be had at the Museum of Science and Technology in downtown Syracuse. Starting this weekend, visitors will have the chance to learn about food grown right here in Onondaga County while they explore the museum. It's part of a new partnership with the Food Bank of Central New York focused on agriculture. Our Tim Fox took us to the MOST for a live look ahead of the new exhibit's unveiling. Tim spoke with Lauren Kochian, MOST president/CEO, Dr. Emily Stewart, MOST senior director of Education & Curation and Karen Belcher, executive director of the Food Bank of Central New York. The GROW exhibit will feature brand new 2,500 square foot installation on the museum's mezzanine focused on agriculture and food systems in Central New York. It will also feature a six-stall farmer's market where visitors can 'buy' apples, corn, eggs, maple and dairy products along with seasonal items. Instead of a currency check out, the scanned items will provide food and nutrition information. In addition, there will be a tractor and trailer photo opportunity where visitors learn about food distribution. The tactile crop field will showcase the 'three sisters', which originated within our local Indigenous communities. This summer, the GROW food distribution center will open, teaching visitors how items go from farms to mass-produced food. The GROW exhibit grand opening is this Saturday, March 29, at the MOST. There will also be a food drive to benefit the Food Bank of CNY this Saturday and Sunday. Learn more at Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
