Another week, and still no rain here in Yorkshire. Not noticed The Moors being this dry before. Increasingly feeling a bit like a dust bowl in places.

There is usually a mini pond here, completely bone dry currently……

It’s officially dry. The local weather station hasn’t recorded any measurable rainfall in 26 days. That’s after the driest Spring on record as well. Speaking to the local farmer, they are struggling. In his words the fields are like concrete, it’s going to be another really poor harvest this year, that assumes they don’t go up in flames first.

If a place like Yorkshire is this dry, you know something is going seriously wrong…..

  1. OMG, Gary. I never thought the UK could be that dry. Our Spring was dry & some places were under water restrictions for a couple of months. Now? We are getting multiple storms everyday & multiple flooding notices. I wish I could send you some water.

  2. I think we should expect there will be storms very soon and flooding.
    Where has the wildlife found relief?
    Have people been putting out water bowls for the hedgehogs?
    Is this the new seasonal expectations now?
    Questions, questions…

  3. Very alarming climate change impacts around the world. We’re dealing with wild fires to the North and I’m reading about what’s happening in France and Spain. Very scary. Hope you get rain over there soon!
