This summer’s brutal heat and drought are turning UK landscapes brown, with satellite data revealing severe vegetation stress across key regions like Conwy and Merseyside. Farmers face mounting pressure as crops wither, threatening food supplies and prices. The sudden shift from wet spring to parched summer has drained soil moisture, straining water resources for agriculture, industry, and households. While reservoirs remain relatively full thanks to a wet winter, levels are still below average—especially in the South West—signaling looming water shortages. Even with rain, long-term damage like falling groundwater and flash flood risks loom, raising alarms about the UK’s future water security and farming resilience.
