Taking a lunchtime walk through the 'Grey to Green' phase 2 project in #Sheffield. Lucky to have this on my doorstep and a good example of the socio-economic benefits that retrofitted #SuDS can have on an area @SheffCouncil @Sudsulike #GreytoGreen #Sustainability #floodrisk

We cannot accept this as the new normal.

This evening, an Emergency Alert has been sent to people across England and Wales as the wildfire risk remains very high. The request came directly from Fire and Rescue Services.

I was in Stourbridge today and saw first-hand the devastating impact these fires have had on people’s homes and lives.

Our priority now is to keep everyone safe and prevent more fires from starting.

During this period of extreme heat, I’m asking everyone to take extra care. Please do not light any fires in gardens, the countryside or other open spaces, including parks, moorland and wooded areas.

Our firefighters and emergency responders are working around the clock in incredibly difficult conditions.

We can all help them. Please take the Emergency Alert seriously and follow the guidance in place.

@alexburghart We are in an emergency, exactly what it's intended for. Just because its a climate emergency makes it no different

The freezing level will fluctuate over the next few days, but will often be sufficiently low to allow snow over higher ground in northern areas and perhaps to lower levels at times ❄️

Whilst colder air may occasionally encroach further south, rain is more likely to fall here 🌧️

Rapidly rising winter temperatures in the UK over the last decade are resulting in a big increase in the number of plant species in flower.

Have you noticed something on the radar today even when there's no rain? 🤔

Some of the showers have been evaporating before reaching the surface

But there's also been some buggy interference from flying ants, who emerge every summer on warm and humid days 🐜

[Met Office @metoffice]

It's likely to be the coldest night of winter so far 🥶

There will be a very severe frost for some with the lowest temperatures across the snow-covered glens in Scotland 📉

But in far west temperatures will start to creep up 📈

@SheffCouncil @sccactivetravel @sccstreetsahead Why spend millions on active travel infrastructure and then zero on keeping these assets ice/snow free? How can the city make cycling or walking more attractive if no effort is made on making them usable in winter? 😪
