Are we heading for another summer of drought?

Experts are warning of the risk to rivers following the driest February for 30 years.

With no significant rain in the long-term forecast, many rivers are already below their normal levels.

And that's threatening river wildlife and local ecologies.

Privatised water companies a massive population growth, what could go wrong

Sky News makes me feel like I live in a completely different country every week.
Last week they were saying that the UK is at increased risk of flooding..

Here in Canada it's been spring all winter long. If summer is as hot as winter was warm it's going to be absolute hell.

[Jase]

Didn't Skynews say we would have a drought at the start of spring because there would be no rainfall in the winter?

How has that worked out?

Your rain landed here in California, please feel free to come and get it.

Perhaps another 750, 000 more people than last year, They use water, What's the surprise....

[williamtagon]

But then we have had a months rain and snow in past two days🤔

[erdevon]

Need to be building more reservoirs rather than loads of houses

[reeling-in]

It will only be a national emergency if London gets too hot!😂

[KingScotto.]

Let's just get through the winter frist OK

[frankmartin]

Things are the way they are, and not the way some of us would like them to be. Drama ensues.

Horrible situation in Spain particularly

[steveparker]

From floods to drought, surely there is an obvious solution that a government with foresight can implement. All we need is a government with foresight. Hopefully not flooding Welsh villages to create more reservoirs this time...

less migrant fish: that's good isn't it. english fish for english rivers

[deejay]

Are we heading for another summer of
a) drought
b) floods
c) normal precipitation
d) climate hysteria

[our-days-are-short]

I'm sure us humans will be blamed again.

[okano]

Yeah a drought on food so we can make bullets

[theycallmehot]

I think drought is not so bad compared to flooding and storms. UK is surrounded by water so many rivers and springs worry about keeping the country flood proof

With an extra unwanted 1 million migrants arriving last year there is pressure on all our resources and infrastructure.
