The National Trust warns that extreme weather is endangering important UK heritage sites under its care. Storms like Darragh damaged Bodnant Garden in Wales, while Avebury Manor in Wiltshire experienced unprecedented flooding, highlighting vulnerabilities like antique drain systems in older estates. The unpredictable climate is impacting wildlife; the Adonis blue butterfly and many bee species have suffered, while peatlands and dragonflies have seen some recovery due to increased rainfall. Meanwhile, late bloom and leaf retention have been noted across the country, with autumn colors delayed by prolonged warm weather.
