Description

As the UK sweltered in a record-breaking heatwave this week, schools closed, runways melted and train tracks buckled. And on the day the country recorded a temperature above 40C for the first time, fires destroyed homes and buildings across Greater London. What more will need to be done so the country’s infrastructure can cope in future heatwaves? On the Sky News Daily with Niall Paterson, our science correspondent Thomas Moore outlines how climate change will make our summers hotter, Kevin Groves, chief spokesperson for Network Rail, explains how the trains and tracks coped in the heat, and Stephen Arundell, vice-chair of the Emergency Planning Society, talks about how we should think about extreme weather events in future.
