Heatwave causes billion-pound losses

A study shows that the heatwave that hit the United Kingdom in June caused the loss of approximately 24 million work hours, leading to economic losses of up to £1.15 billion ($1.53 billion). The record temperatures resulted in holidays and adjustments to working hours, especially in physically demanding sectors like construction and agriculture, where employees reduced their working hours even further compared to other industries. The heatwave had widespread impacts on health, infrastructure, water resources, and agriculture, with temperatures exceeding previous records, highlighting the effects of climate change on the UK's economy and living conditions.
