A BBC video report looks at when the UK might next see significant rainfall, following a spell of hot, dry weather that has raised concerns about drought conditions and wildfire risk. The piece, filed under the BBC's climate coverage, comes amid a run of UK heatwaves that have kept much of the country parched through the summer.

The report does not give a definitive date for the return of rain but points viewers to check forecasts for their own area, reflecting the regional variability in when wetter weather is expected to arrive. It is linked to wider BBC coverage of heatwaves, wildfires and climate change, underlining concerns that prolonged dry spells are becoming more frequent and are increasing wildfire risk across parts of the UK.
