The UK Hydrological Summary confirms heightened risk of drought impacts this summer — especially in eastern Britain. June was the warmest on record for England and 2nd warmest for the UK overall. Rainfall showed stark regional contrasts, with some areas seeing less than half of average. 🧵🧪 1/

Seasonal changes in UK rainfall since 1836 The UK has become ~15% wetter in the last two centuries, mainly in the winter and autumn, even though the wettest year on record is 1872. Summers have become very slightly drier overall (mainly in the south), even though the driest year on record is 1855.
