In Cambridgeshire, the Holme Fen Nature Reserve was burning for a third day, with peat smouldering underground, and in Nottinghamshire a major incident was declared due to two large woodland fires. Half of England and all of Wales were in drought, with a fifth heatwave forecast and a possible red weather warning, while Ardingly Reservoir levels were exceptionally low.
A small boat crossed the English Channel carrying 230 people, the largest recorded number in a single vessel, breaking the previous record of 165.

Daniel Kinahan, an alleged organised crime boss, was extradited from Dubai to Ireland and spent the night in Portlaoise prison, facing a charge of directing the activities of a criminal organisation.
Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in eastern China, moving over a million people to safety, with nearly 1,000 flights cancelled in Shanghai. Global sea surface temperatures in July were the hottest on record, reaching 20.96 degrees. Figures showed a record 1.24 million people on zero-hours contracts, up by 207,000 since Labour took power, despite a promise to ban exploitative contracts.
