Episode Details

North Wales has been hit with its first drought declaration of the year, as rainfall plummets to just 2% of July’s average, leaving rivers dangerously low and the land parched. Across the UK, 23 million people face hosepipe bans, with England receiving only 3% of its usual July rain—some areas getting none at all. This follows a brutal pattern of heatwaves and the driest spring on record, straining water systems and forcing reservoirs and rivers to hit record lows. With river flows at just 13% of normal levels and water companies scrambling to manage surging demand, experts are urging everyone to conserve—because this isn’t just about convenience, it’s about survival for our natural resources.
