It's 30°C in parts of Britain today. And the animals are struggling.☀️
Dairy cows in Cumbria are drinking twice as much water.
Milk yields are dropping.
Farmers are out there at 3am moving livestock to shade.
This isn't just a heatwave. This is another challenge for British farming.
The Irish government has already issued guidance - no transporting animals in the hottest part of the day.
What has the UK government said? Nothing new.
East of England just had one of the driest Aprils on record.
Crops already planted are failing.
This current hot spell is making everything worse.
A Lincolnshire arable farmer told the BBC his wheat is suffering.
That wheat becomes your bread.
Your pasta.
Your breakfast cereal.
One more week of this and thousands of acres of British crops will be written off.
Temperatures are rising. So are costs.
More water for livestock.
More diesel for ventilation.
More stress on the farmer.
The weather is getting harder. The government is getting quieter.
This isn’t to scaremonger, and it’s nothing British farmers haven’t weathered before (excuse the pun), just an opportunity to ask the question…
Is anyone in Westminster paying attention to what 32°C means for your food?
I’ve stood in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, not as a tourist, just as a person trying to take in what happened there.
It’s not something you can fully understand. You feel it more than you think it. The quiet holds everything. Lives that were ordinary one moment and gone the next. Families. Children. A whole world changed in seconds.
What stayed with me wasn’t only the devastation. It was the people. The way a place that went through something so unimaginable chose to rebuild with peace at its centre. That kind of courage is different. It’s soft and steady and deeply human.
Right now things feel tense and uncertain. There’s a lot of fear in the air. It’s easy to get pulled into that and feel powerless.
But courage isn’t in the noise or the threats. It lives in us. In how we speak to each other. In how we hold each other. In whether we let fear make us smaller or choose something better.
No one should ever have to live through what happened in Hiroshima. That truth sits heavy, but it also reminds us what really matters.
We still get to choose. Kindness. Care. Humanity. Even now.
And that choice, quiet as it is, might be the most powerful thing we have.
