US EditionMost of England facing hosepipe ban
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 14 – The Environment Agency forecasts drought could extend to eight UK regions by September, affecting millions amid one of the driest springs and warmest Junes on record.
- The National Drought Group met on July 15 to announce that more regions of England are expected to enter drought status due to current conditions.
- This comes after experiencing one of the hottest and least rainy springs in more than 100 years, resulting in depleted reservoir levels throughout the North and Midlands, with three regions already declared in drought.
- Three water companies have imposed hosepipe bans, and officials warn the public should prepare for more bans as the dry weather persists and affects farmers’ irrigation.
- Richard Thompson indicated that additional areas are likely to be designated as drought-affected, as the agency prepares for a plausible worst-case scenario in which drought conditions could intensify and spread rapidly.
- The worsening drought could affect millions in the Midlands and southern regions, signaling a need for faster resilience measures and infrastructure investment to mitigate impacts.
