Drought

Rainwater flows along the surface of the dry soil. Parts of East Anglia and South East England remain in drought, with water company restrictions in place on public water use.

South West England, the Midlands and parts of Yorkshire are no longer in drought due to the recent rainfall. It is unlikely that water companies will now impose hosepipe bans in these areas over the summer.
