England's Drought: A Climate Crisis in Full View The National Drought Group is set to meet on Monday, with more areas of England expected to be declared drought stricken as the country prepares for its fifth heatwave this summer.
This comes after last month's record breaking dry July, which saw the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology confirm that the lack of rainfall was unparalleled in nearly two centuries.
The Environment Agency has reported that reservoir storage has fallen 7. 4% below average for this time of year, highlighting England's precarious water reserves.
