💨 Abstract

Britain may face a potential drought this summer, with England experiencing its driest start to the year in nearly a century. The Environment Agency has warned of a "medium" risk of drought, with low water levels and reservoir storage exacerbating the situation. 2025 has thus far had the driest start to the year for Scotland (in 93 years) and Northern Ireland (in 72 years).
