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…..
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.

Tucson just finished with seven straight days of rain… and flooding.
Aaaand once again, it’s bone dry… and 105 degrees. It was nice while it lasted! LOL!

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…

We can only pray that the rains return soon – but in steady gentleness, not in a raging roar that destroys.

If I could, I would send some of our rain your way. It rains almost every day here in the southeastern U.S.

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!

Are you sure you’re in UK? Probably when rain will come will not stop for awhile…
