Drought status now applies to a swathe of areas from Devon and Cornwall to East Anglia and up to Lincolnshire - as well as north and south London. While a Met Office amber warning for extreme heat is in place until midnight on Sunday. ----------------------- Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Channel4News
