(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on August 07, 2026 shows people sitting in deck chairs in Green Park in London on August 13, 2025 (top), and deck chairs stored on sun-scorched grass, turned yellow-brown due to a lack of rain, in Green Park in London, on August 7, 2026. In the southern part of England, July 2026 was the driest month ever recorded, dating back to 1836, with just 1.9 mm of rainfall, or three percent of the average figure, the Met Office said. "July 2026 has been a truly remarkable month in the UK's climate record," said Met Office science manager Amy Doherty. (Photo by Niklas HALLE'N and Toby Shepheard / AFP via Getty Images)
