All It Takes

All it takes is a few sparks to start a fire.

In the UK, we are in a heatwave with temperatures over thirty most days. There have been wildfires, where we are more used to floods.

Climate change isn’t necessarily about it being warmer and drier. Although that is part of it. We are living through an extraordinary event, and I hope there will be some rain soon; from plants to humans, it will be a welcome break from the heat.

  1. Wildfires are terrible. I hope you get some rain soon to calm down the heat. 🙏

    Where I live, our heatwave is a bit worse, because the temps are usually hovering over 34°C in sunny days, and we still didn’t get any rain yet since June.

    A very great Six! 👍
