The UK is locked in a brutal drought, with eastern, central, and southern England plus all of Wales facing relentless dryness as August heats up and dries out. Natural Resources Wales and the Environment Agency have declared nationwide droughts, citing record-low rainfall—Wales got just 8% of its usual July rain, possibly the driest in nearly 200 years. Water is being used faster than it can be replenished, wreaking havoc on ecosystems. While a glimmer of rain may arrive in Scotland and the northwest, it’s too fleeting to break the drought—summer showers evaporate too fast, and heavy downpours can’t soak in. What’s needed? Weeks of steady rain. Without it, the parched earth will only worsen.
