The UK’s infrastructure has also felt the strain from the heat, with more than 300 schools being partially closed this week, and Britain’s biggest train company, Govia Thameslink, warned passengers not to travel on Wednesday unless it’s absolutely necessary, because of speed restrictions for safety.
