An official drought has been declared for large parts of England, the government said today, affecting at least 30 million people.
Parts of the southwest, southern, central and east of England are to be moved into drought status, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said.
It is likely to mean that millions more people will face restrictions on water use over the coming weeks and will put pressure on water companies to act.
The National Drought Group, which includes the National Farmers Union (NFU) and environmental groups, met this morning to discuss the prolonged dry conditions as parts of the southern half of England and eastern Wales endure a heatwave. Temperatures of up to 35C are forecast for this weekend.
