- A drought has been declared in many parts of England following the driest July in the country since 1935.
It means water companies can begin announcing stricter measures to conserve supplies.
A four-day extreme heat amber warning is in place for parts of England and Wales, with temperatures forecast to hit 37C (99F), and the Met Office is warning there is an "exceptional" risk of fires spreading over the weekend.

As an Australian, it's quite surreal seeing images of Britain looking as dry as Australia.
As an Australian, this is nothing.
Earlier post. No where near as a dry as Australia.......
Meanwhile England sent citizens over to Australia.
A lot less water, and a lot worse in terms of droughts and dry, barren wasteland.
Hardly anything in comparison to our summers lol.
Quite funny really, watching at first france, and now the UK suffer.
Learn to deal with the elements idiots.
Defund the BBC its propaganda and were literally made to pay for our own brainwashing its definetly satanic.
Welcome to the new world now climate change has completely settled in. This will be World war 3 we expected but not between nations but humanity against failing to FIX our mistakes and correct the damage we have done to earth.
Yeah, it's getting almost as hot, too. My pets are Australian native and they hate how hot it is. I have to take them outside for walks now to cool them down, it's not optional. My monitor lizard that's from the arid outback can't stand it and he's flailing around trying to dig his way out of the enclosure vents after I've already turned off the heating lights and mats.
It's hell watching them and being helpless because I'm doing everything I can for them already. My flat traps heat and releases it later in the day so by 8PM we're all suffering. One of my animals even died last year from the heat and it didn't get this hot. Fingers crossed my frog, scorpion, geckos and pythons make it through this year. Even the bearded dragons are struggling.
And then there's next year if things keep getting gradually worse like they have been for the past four years. Might just have to keep everything in my storage cupboard outside.
@@sirbaconbutties7071 Thanks for the laugh, I needed that! 🤣
When Welsh Water & Yorkshire Water are amongst the first in the country to bring-in water restrictions, you know there is a serious lack of investment in deep water reservoir storage since they were privatised....
|And no revenue for fixing leaks...
And how often have such been needed in the past? Hmm?.. Let's say the past 2000 years.
The ideal solution was needed 40-60 years ago, and it has nothing to do with water storage. And everything with fossil fuel use.
I’d better go out a bulk buy some ‘Peckham Spring’ then
Raining next week in kent

@Pipi who said he argued ?
1st: Its not an argument its a quote
2nd : he is showing that a guy 200 years ago was talking about a totally opposite England reality
3rd: the problem as become inevitable you are probably the one in denial like 99% of the earth population thinking that electric car and fertilizer banning will help the cause .its too late all this should have been done 30 years ago minimum. But no your leaders are too dúmb want to turn around on a dime like its all possible without arsh and terrible consequences.
Like I warn people since 5 years more or less its time to Buckle up, the ride will be bumpy.
I've been warning way before that. But thats kind of the final round bell kind of warning yall should of listen a long time ago but everyone was screaming conspiracioniste.
Keep buying and populating, because even your green vision is a vision of hell but your so hypnotized by all the narrative pushed down your throat you can't seem to see clear into the game .
This world is better to change drastically but if it does riot will spread across like I said this world is in a checkmate situation. Everyone accusing anyone some even start to radicalize and going toward the path of regression, old ways like death sentence and all sorts of anti life anti freedom way of living .
There was a guy 2000 years ago everything that would happen and here it is taking place so dont be so chocked to see it happen

Us Californians know this all too well 😔 Praying for UK 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Despite being one of those countries who have the heaviest rainfalls, the UK has long been relying mainly on the nature's ability to replenish water without constructing enough water reservoirs for the hard times. So much so that it runs out of water within a brief period of few months. And it is the first one to criticize and degrade other nations based on their short comings. Very double standards and quite disappointing attitude. But I wish that UK comes out of this predicament.
They have abused and now have emptied the aquifers ..and wells .for centuries ..the water ways have been used to build wealth.. its now time for concienciously raising your standards so more people in other parts of the world do not suffer from nuclear power stations, malfunctioning thank you xx
The UK isn't a country. Is a sovereign nation with 4 country's in it.
@@McYeroc NOT For long, haha sovereignty , *united kingdom* tehe

I live in the desert in Andalusia, Spain. It rained in April for the first time in possibly six months, we only get about three weeks of rain a year. There is no hose pipe ban. How is there a ban in Wales where it rains every other day. It's almost like the UK let's all that water just run down the drain. Hope it rains soon there and here , phew it's bloody hot ! .

Uk doesn't own its water .
when it rains there'll be run off because of soil capping, which might increase the risk of flooding
Yeah they don't seem to understand, I suggested trench dredging and cleaning up river beds, so when it comes ,the rain, there will be flow, but have not had the experience..before .. Also rivers might change direction or go underground into aquafirs,....I don't think they understand solar power either?? Be a good time to learn tehe xx
Perhaps they can clean the completely blocked drains, so the rain can have somewhere to go.

Southern Spain hasn't had rain since March and with temps of up to 44 Degrees but we still have water because we have reservoirs and dams !.
According to an overweight Tory, Coffey, EU regulations prevented the construction of new reservoirs in Britain.
Although how the lump ever arrived at that conclusion is way beyond me because, if there's no rain, there's nothing to fill a water butt with.
.
Hatred of the EU is still alive and well in the minds of these people.
the worse it gets the more the knuckle heads will ignore it and say it was way worse in 76 ... we doomed for sure .
They actually can’t claim that as if is actually the worst it has ever been. What they are going to argue is that all of this is natural and blame people for living in these places.
My favourite so far has been them claiming it's even hotter in Sri Lanka or the Philippines so brits shouldn't complain. I'm not even joking! These people are INSANE.
@@nataliekhanyola5669 i know its actually inane and you just get that feeling they will never change minds out of pure stubborness.

Wow - just mind-blowing!
Use as much water as you like. Balls to the water companies for selling off too many reservoirs.
My pools back up 5000 litres in it 😁
This doesn't mention the appalling state of the water distribution infrastructure, or how much water is lost to leakage. There needs to be an increased mandatory amount of profits these water companies need to spend to maintain resilience in the supply and infrastructure - NOW!
what would you expect from a BBC report pal?
Profits are bad. Capitalism is bad. Tell companies to make money but when they make what you consider to be too much, take it off them. Honesty, step away from the propaganda and the brainwashing please.

If this turns out to be a long term/permanent situation, then an array of catch basins will have to be built/installed to preserve water. Greetings from a Brit residing in Arizona, USA. Living in a desert area am aware of drought situations, for sure.
Dont worry Britons. Im visiting for a few days soon. Its ALWAYS raining when im over visiting you so get those sugar beets ready.
Thanks mate
i swear the drastic change of now vs 4 years ago is scary. The heat is horrible enough I can't imagine people at some point not being able to take a cool shower as well. Moments like this you wish this was all one bad nightmare you're in.
quite agree. and it will only get worse as there's no guarantee the next few months will be wet. we could end up basically like a third world country, forever queuing in the street for a bucket of water. that's fact.
Severn Trent serves us and luckily no hosepipe ban yet. They've sent out texts asking us to be careful with water usage but they don't see any water shortages occurring at the moment. I don't see how forecasters can say it will be warm for the next 3 months though, weather can't be predicted that far ahead with any sort of accuracy.
CEOs of water companies should have their bonus linked to fixing leaks and storage instead of making money for their shareholders. The argument in favour of privatising water companies was that they would invest in pipe work and reservoirs and that is where the big increase in bills would go. After all these years we still get water shortage due to leaking pipe work and not enough reservoirs.
Warms my heart.
Hope it stays warm . Not bothered about what the news says. British news is not trust worthy. My daffodils are doing fine in this lovely hot weather.
This makes me kind of nervous about this coming summer, because if it's so hot that places in Europe are catching fire, what's going to be happening here in South Africa 😂😂😂. Yoh.
Get prepared, resource and pay for FireFighters , well and train some more..., get the helicopters that drop water bombs.. have look outs in vulnerable places, make sure the place is monitored by satalites, infered.

The vastly overpopulated UK can take no more of this insanity, our once wonderful country is systematically being destroyed financially, environmentally, culturally and ethnically. Absolutely deplorable.
In parts of the UK last week it chucked it down in bridlington.

Everyday more people are entering the Country and need WATER.
You brits have a lot to learn about wildfires. Visited Hyde park in London yesterday, the amount of people walking around smoking and plastic/glass bottles sitting around, not litter just people using/storing them incorrectly.
How many wildfires did you see in Hyde Park then?
@@B-A-L Your own news have reported a 500% increase in Fires in southern England. I doubt you live in the west end so Hyde park was a poor example. Maybe if I used the analogy of your local park in your council estate you would understand. Ps. I have a holiday home in SW1 and have seen plenty of fires locally.
Dry and sunny in South Wales (Barry Island), but plenty of cold and rain to spare in New South Wales (Aust). Not so bad on the East Coast but inland, rain is predicted Saturday (13/8) to Tuesday (16/8). And snow Sunday and Tuesday at Barrington Tops National Park in the NSW North East sub-tropical rain forests (yes, you read those last three words correctly; it's 1565 metres elevation).
And yet a third La Nina is predicted 50% likely in Spring (Sept-Nov) as well as a negative Indian Ocean Dipole, both of which bring more rain to Central and Eastern Australia.
Droughts in UK..thats the last thing I could have imagined to happened
@Jake Nothing new? When was the last 40c day in britain before ths year?
There are only droughts because we have poor maintenance of pipes etc , reservoirs have been sold, and the water companies want profits.
@@carolewynn9407 droughts nothing to do with a severe lack of rain water then??
Why dont we just go back to the infrastructure we were using in the winter and spring if its infrastructure causing it now?
@@edix1673 Severe lack of water ? In the UK, hilarious. Twenty five reservoirs sold off since the 1980s , despite population increase, little to no maintenance of Victorian pipes, no cleaning of drains etc , desalination plant built never put into use.
@@carolewynn9407 you didn't answer my question. Why didnt we have a lack of water in the spring/winter?
omg never would have thought this would happen to the UK
1976
It's happened before.. and long before the new religion got started...
One of the very worst things to happen in Britain has been the systematic privatization of water utilities, electric utilities, and the like. Once publicly owned, meaning owned by municipalities or counties, meaning the "People", they were corruptly sold off and it has been a fiasco. Read the comments here about lack of maintenance and water waste due to leakage, draining or wasting deep reservoirs, and other idiocies. I am so sad for what is happening worldwide this year. Climate Crisis is getting realer and realer. We must take real action, we could if the political will was there. The ideas, systems, protocols, innovations are there. Is there the political will?
Nobody cares. *sips beer*
We can easily avoid this in years to come with simple & cheap changes to our cities and rural areas. Simple water capture projects, swales & pond making, mandatory permaculture will easily replenish the water table after our typically rainy autumns. No more concrete cities and allowing rainfall to runoff into the sea. The days of water waste are over.
rainwater globally is polluted with micro plastics and pfas, it is not that simple
C, not taking a shower and not washing dishes. Do not flush the toilet either....they use too much water in one flush.
I
The media wont tell you that it is the ridiculous house building that is a main contributing factor to this so called drought.
C proposed real solutions, you on the other hand are being childish.
Since the 1980s the water companies have sold off at least 25 reservoirs, meaning we have less than in 1976, yet the population has vastly increased. Please explain.
Hello dear how are you doing?
@@diegojwagner1847 Fine thank you, and you ?
@@carolewynn9407 I’m doing pretty good
How was your night dear?
Don't pay your water bill. Water companies are not allowed to cut your supply off, whatever ever you owe. Stand up to the fat cats
@Follow the howl Let them take you to court, it will cost them more than it will cost you. Fuck them.
Immediate desalination of seawater and channelling of this is required worldwide.
It causes environmental damage and uses a large amount of energy that will most probably come from fossil fuels which will only accelerate the problem.
Dont worry everyone, if we dont have rain soon I'll go camping, it will chuck it down for sure.
That always happens.
When the ground becomes parched like that when it rains it can’t absorb the water so it runs off causing flash flooding. When it starts raining again there will be flooding especially if there are heavy thunderstorms.
No 💩Sherlock.
Good. I look forward to watching the news on how peoples homes are flooded.
@@shroudedgrove4679 Need to keep my distance from you, don't want to cut myself.

Sad thing is next week’s thundery showers won’t 100% help but will be a start to get the ground wet again.
Will just create more fires those thundery showers
it won't be enough - period.
Most people don't realise that it be like it is but it do.....
Building few dams and plants around our shore's turning salty water into fresh drinking water.
No drought about it!
Will Africa be holding a Water Aid concert for the poor gardeners of England?
And of course to make Britain more food independent we need more golf courses...
Food shortage is next. Just prepare of the impact.
Chemtails sprayed from planes: clouds and no rain, the chemicals prevented rain to fall.
That’s a headline I never thought I’d see for the uk, we are known for our rain
Which changes what exactly?
Wouldn't be so bad IF the water companies around the UK at times didn't lose (through leaks and inefficient pipework) up to 30% of the water they collect between from where they get their supplies to providing consumers.... Anglian water have been a consistant bad player in this game for many years... 😒
When parts of the UK declare draught you know global warming has become an extremely serious problem on the planet. Governments are failing our beautiful home :(
Nothing to do with the failings of the water companies then ?
@Follow the howl But they control the lack of storage and reservoirs, poor maintenance of pipes and cleaning of drains.
@Follow the howl At least 25 were sold for building on, that was all about profit for the share holders, so despite the growth in population, we have less reservoirs than 1976. The govt. does not determine maintainence, each water company sets their own targets.
Got to laugh at the media.. heatwave this and that. Where i live in England we've probably had 7 nice days all summer. Its been a bit crap tbh. Dull cloudy days with rain typical summer for us. But that wont catch the media because we live outside london 🙄

S Wales has drought!
Too many leeks
It's a global drought. It's catching up to Europe now...in Africa we are in Year 2.
Africa has had droughts since forever. There was a Blue Peter appeal for Biafra in the 1970's for which I collected and helped. But it turns out that droughts have been happening there since time immemorial and to add to the woes the population in the past 50 years has exploded. There is the same amount of water in the world as there was then. Global drought is an impossibility.

Certainly sounds like it's not going to be a good year for crop circles.
That’s a bit controversial for the Beeb isn’t it?
Have you checked with Dorries?
If they want rain they know what they need to do.
We have millions of acres we could be using for wetlands and reservoirs. Massively under invested. We cry when we have solutions.
But...... that would just be socialisism, and knuckledraggers cry whenever they hear such a scary word!
Ah, Yes. Problems. The amount of negative situations that the world faces every single day is unfathomable.

But even if you didn’t cause the problem, YOU SHOULD STILL TRY AND HELP TO FIX IT!
@Jake good point
“drought declared… stricter measures… impacts on infrastructure”
Has anyone any idea what this means???
It's called summer. It's now autumn and possing down.
The faster the train goes, the harder it is to stop. In the last 20 years, global food production has become completely reliant on the use of organophosphates and pesticides; that the supply of herbicides and associated chemicals should suddenly become unavailable: worldwide food productivity would be reduced by as much as 30-50% in the space of a few short months.
The long game: given productivity would be further reduced by 30-50% if artificial fertilizers and nitrogen were also taken out of the mix; like a runaway train rapidly gaining momentum down a hill: Putin and the gigantic, autocratic elephant in the room (China) are just getting started.
Of runaway trains, soil fertility, and chemical withdrawals: Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is present and tested in the form of carbons that took from the beginning of time to get to where they are. That push should come to shove, and farmers would quickly revert to the age old practice of successive cultivation passes in order to suppress weed competition in their crops, lies an unequivocal, self perpetuating, never ending conundrum; the more the world's remaining soil's are oxygenated and oxidized into CO2 by cultivation, and soil fertility levels continue to drop: the greater the reliance on artificial inputs.
This is not rocket science: that anyone who fails to plan, plans to fail, and it's all over bar the shouting insofar as agriculture is concerned; the sooner you pick up sticks and do something about it: the better your chances of survival.
As surely as god made little green apples: while a full-scale, well-deserved global nuclear holocaust and an inevitable nuclear winter in the northern hemisphere will surely occur at any moment; with atmospheric carbon levels doubling, and doubling again: it is the southern hemisphere which will be required to absorb 3-400 million fleeing souls from one moment to the next. That 70-80% of those refugees will perish in the first couple of months, of the ensuing anarchy and chaos of the 30 year mini ice age that definitively occurs in mid March 2034: 99% of the 1% who somehow managed to survive the first two nights of the big freeze by digging in, will go on to perish in the first 18 months.

This isn’t a normal dry summer. This is the same type of Mediterranean summer experienced in California and the Mediterranean basin. With climate change, what England can expect is a more Meditteranean type of climate happening in the near future where the summers become dry and the rains return in winter. If climate changes goes really far, England can be at threat of being put in the same situation that the Spain and California are in right now.
@@coffilover I have a disability and I am loving this nice weather but I do understand that some people may find it too hot for a few days. There is a device called an air-conditioner for that, it's a bit like the opposite of the heaters we use when it is cold
It’s not one wet summer, for southern England it’s the fourth summer in 5 years to bring a prolonged period of drought, and it’s the third summer in 4 years where temperatures have exceeded 100f. That temperature had never been recorded anywhere in the UK before 2003. It’s now a near annual event.

This country is going bananas. Country that has sooo much rainfall through out a year could easily enough supply if they've made more lakes and reservoirs. It would benefit humans and the wildlife.

Everyday in July was overcast with low cumulous cloud cover and no rain precipitation, unheard of in a high pressure system where there are mainly clear skies and fine weather. The barometric pressure is actually lower today than it was for all of July. The only difference in August? No aeroplane trails, thus far.
Trees are having a bumper crop around here in Southern England. Beach nuts, hazel, horse chestnuts.... I have never seen more acorns on some of the trees. They obvs enjoy the warm weather.
Agree with the cloud cover and lack of rain - kind of strange but plenty of aircraft trails - I’m on the London to U.S flight path in South Wales.

*_I'm in dubai, I envy you guys for the very cold weather you having right now, I don't know why you call it heatwave 🤣_*
It's all relative.

Will the rain this weekend in the UK, help?
Some thundery showers due here in the Midlands at the start of the week, but when the ground is so dry it just runs off and doesn't soak into the fields .. Your garden will welcome it, but I expect more water companies will put in hosepipe bans..
