Unfortunately that is not the case in the UK, where [**The Met Office has issued a four-day amber extreme heat warning**](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62472926)**.**

The Great Salt Lake is drying up, and there is [**an environmental disaster looming**](https://ksltv.com/502028/dust-lake-city-disaster-looming-as-utah-professor-fights-to-save-the-great-salt-lake/).

[Invest 97L](https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/cyclones/?atlc) is looking like it won’t be worth paying attention to for much longer. It was the first wave off Africa to garner attention as a potential Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico/Atlantic Coast tropical threat in over a month. There is now just a 10% chance of cyclone formation within the next 48 hours.
