Drought Covers 71.3% of England
England experienced the driest July since records began in 1836, with 71.3% of the areas affected by drought. The impacted regions include the East Midlands, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Kent, Sussex, Solent, and South Downs, with 45 million people under drought conditions and 27 million facing water usage restrictions. The government expects the dry conditions to persist amid a fifth heatwave, as river and reservoir water levels remain low, increasing the risk of wildfires, threatening agricultural production, and raising concerns over food shortages. The government is working to facilitate the construction of reservoirs for farmers to collect water, as river levels decline to their lowest points.
