US EditionWater warnings issued as UK experiences 'unusually dry' spring
- Millions of UK households face the threat of water restrictions following an unusually dry spring in 2025, the driest in nearly 70 years.
- This dry period follows England’s wettest 12 months on record that caused flooding and disrupted agriculture, creating volatile water supply conditions.
- Reservoir levels in England fell to 84% by April end, lower than in 2022’s drought, with particularly low rainfall in south-east and north-west regions.
- Thames Water, which supplies water to around 16 million people, is preparing for possible shortages and warns that any restrictions will be weather-dependent; meanwhile, the regulator emphasizes the importance of fixing leaks and encouraging water-saving measures.
- Water UK reports companies are setting leak repair records and transferring water between regions to prevent shortages, but a drought this summer remains a medium risk.
