We revisit one reservoir in Cambridgeshire where water levels dropped by 14 feet in the last record dry spell in 1976.
Every region in England has recorded lower than average rainfall but what are the consequences? And could this become the UK’s worst drought in decades?
Newsnight’s Science and Technology Correspondent Kate Lamble examines the effect Britain’s record-breaking weather is having on consumer demand, livestock, crops, and businesses.

On the heels of the hottest summer the Northern Hemisphere has ever seen, U.N. researchers digging through the climate record have reported a chilling discovery: On Dec. 22, 1991, a remote weather station atop the Greenland ice sheet recorded a temperature of minus 93.3 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 69.6 degrees Celsius) — the coldest temperature ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.
The frigid new record, announced Wednesday (Sept. 23) in a statement from the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization (WMO), shivers past the previous record of minus 90.4 F (minus 67.8 C) set in two different towns in the Siberian Arctic, first in 1892 and the other in 1933. For comparison, all three of those extreme lows sneak past the average temperature on Mars, which is roughly minus 81 F (minus 63 C), according to NASA.
What a load of rubbish so what do you do with the rain comes all year round constantly constantly obviously you don’t know how to deal with anything when it comes to weather
Civilisations thrive in warm times, lke the Romans, when it was much hotter. Civilisations crash and die in cold times. Think yourself lucky we live in the best times man has ever seen. Deaths from weather and climate down 95% since 1890. Wildfires down 90% since 1900. Get a grip.
40 million people to 70 million people, no extra water.
We need more people in England 🤦♂️
global warming is bullshit propaganda
On the bright side, no need to go to Tropical climate for vacation…. It will save money…
Haha,,,,just kidding… It looks like there is a great risk of desertification…. ( mind you deserts are seen both in extremes of heat as well as cold)
Grasslands look like that of a typical Indian summer.
Could we live in a world where we all use bicycles, the wealthy use electric vehicles, travel/import/export by boat and not more petrol stations? More goods are homegrown or locally made? Who benefits and who will suffer in that world?
It been pouring down over the last few days. Looks like the shortest drout in history, sam as the shortest heatwave in history…but hey, lets not let a good fear story go to waste 😂😂😂😂
Pile of boo xit
Am I missing something? Apart from 2 days of heat, its been raining EVERY day in Liverpool! worse summer in years!
Some of the comments under this video really disturb me. It's amazing how poor some people's grasp of averages is. It seems the average environmental science commentator doesn't have the arithmetic skills of the average eleven-year-old.
Finework
I wish they'd use metres instead of feet, no idea what 14 feet is!
be scared. what happened to the whole in the ozone and the end of the world by the year 2000??? its all about control. do you really think they care? time to wake up people.
Absolute horse manure
Scotland has plenty of water n hasent stopped raining between the hot days so this is utter bullshit n only affects lower england
We are living in the E N D times, the 7year Tribulation with the world leader (Antichrist, 666) is right around the corner = GOD'S judgement upon all unbelievers! But there is hope – get saved and be rapture ready: accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior today!!!
Please study biblical end times prophecy; listen to Dr. Ron Rhodes on end times chronology.

Rest assured no action will be taken in time, and when it is taken we will pay dearly for it.
The bombing in Ukraine is excellerating the Global warming in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 we have rain everyday if not we would be in the situation as Britian as resseccion looms, the glaciers are rapidly melting but to the Russian leader it all about the last man standing takes it all a nuclear earth. It is what it is. Is he really Satan in the flesh or just his missiles names the world will find out in time. Man~ extinction and self destruction and annialation with Nuclear .Mankind has learned nothing but Destruction and wars and creating virus in their labs .History books teach you about many wars but very little about peace .
I'm blessed by clonehack he got me 3BTC with just a
little fee thanks dude.
1976 was almost 50 yrs ago. It could well be another 50 years before we have such a glorious hot summer. Enjoy 😍✌💜🌈❤
For the past two decades, much of the hysteria about global warming — later re-labeled “climate change” — has been based on the so-called “hockey stick” graph produced by Michael Mann. The graph, shown below, has been used by the IPCC, the media and governments to push global warming hysteria to the point of mass mental illness, where Democrat presidential candidates claim humanity only has 12 years remaining before a climate apocalypse will somehow destroy the planet.
But the hockey stick graph is a fraud. A man-made computer software algorithm generated it, and the algorithm is rigged to produce a hockey stick shape no matter what data were entered. Like everything else found in the rigged world of “climate science,” the hockey stick graph was a fraud the day it was generated.
Michael Mann didn’t like being called a fraud by his critics, so he sued them for defamation. And late last week, one of those lawsuits was concluded by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, which threw out Mann’s lawsuit against Dr. Tim Ball. But there’s more. According to
EARTHS MAGNETIC POLES ARE MOVING…. which is causing all weather changes NOTHING TO DO WITH MANKIND.
BP INVENTED the term CARBON FOOTPRINT in 2004
They now use YOUR MANMADE GUILT to blame humans and invent CARBON EXCHANGE TAX where they PROFIT ON bull💩
You are being LIED TO PEOPLE
Through June 20, 2022, the Greenland Ice Sheet had the lowest spring surface melt in the past decade. The total aerial extent of surface melting was just over 2.27 million square kilometers (876,000 million square miles), well below the 1981 to 2010 average of 3.72 million square kilometers (1.44 million square miles). Melting was below average along the western edge of the ice sheet (10 to 15 days behind the average rate) and near-average along the southeastern coast where melting occurred primarily at low elevations. A small area of the southern tip of the island had slightly above average melting.

The boss of Wessex Water, which has warned of a ban on ‘non-essential’ water use, has a 40ft swimming pool at his £3 million home.
Colin Skellett, 77, earns £1 million a year for running a water company that loses 70 million litres of water a day due to faulty infrastructure.
As it struggles to stop the leaks, it is telling customers to watch their usage – even with advice on pools.
Europe is now in the worst drought since 1560… A few more people around these days that will need feeding. But don’t look up folks the sceptics know the truth.
The drought seems to be affecting almost every part of the Earth but…I live close to the coast and tidal levels haven't changed either up or down. Where is the water going?
If glaciers are melting, lakes drying as the terra is and yet no change in sea levels? So, again…where is the water going?
If it is evaporating into the atmosphere, it should turn to rain. Obviously, there are catastrophic floods occuring in places which is considered unusual. The one place recieving more water is sea ice around Antarctica, but this is highly variable over time. The sea ice has been sufficient to stop ice breaking ships which normally plow these areas.
Is this connected to a solar minimum experienced over solar cycle 24?
Why isn't Wales ever recorded on these predictions 😖
Thanks to the Science illiterate Tory Government- conflating science facts with conspiracy theories and insufferable rage grievance hysterics. They ambushed and derailed 25 years of hard premiere scientists warnings ⚠️. Now: England will be brought to it's knees. YOU ARE THE EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENTS. 🇬🇧 🦖☄️
Good news, rain is coming and then plenty of floods. Nausers at the BBC that like to scaremonger
Hypocrites.
since the eighties water has become politial and manipulated along with the weather, water used to included in our rates then the water companies came a long, then they privatatised the water and then water rationing began, exactly like the 00.1% are vaccinating us and they want us to drive their electric cars and they want us to eat their bugs … and after a few weeks of warm weather they are calling a drought … wakey wakey!
UK summer. Enjoy. Water the grass

The water companeis do not own money through hosepipe bans. And at night we have a massive excess electricity to drive pumps.
They should dip a waighted snorkel into the sea or river. An just one W of electrical power, will cause a one metre of the sea or river water will cause a one metre of liquid water to boil into 1000 l of water vapour.
In Italy (Tuscany, here), the leaves of the trees have started yellowing/browning and falling due to extreme drought conditions. It's becoming surreal. We are used to seeing drought periods, but not of that extense and severity.
Winge when its dry and winter when it floods. Two months from now it will be flooded.
BBC spreading utter bollox as usual, give it a break you are a thing of the past!
"Thames Water says it's doing everything it can to fix leaks, responsible for losing more than 600 million litres of water a day – that's almost a quarter of all the water it supplies" ITV News
We have had hardly any new reservoirs built in the UK for the past 60 years! We are told that they are very expensive to build. The UK GIVE AWAY over FOURTEEN BILLION every year to help others around the world, and WE here in the UK are squeezed every day to pay for this CRIME! ALL foreign "aid" should be stopped, and WE the UK public should be given a vote on whether any money should be sent abroad, which we actually BORROW in the first place
RIP GW 1995. The climate has cooled since. Free fresh water
https://nuclearfusiononearth.blogspot.com/2022/08/free-fresh-water.html
We use O physics! This is being written in the UK, but he applies equally well all over the world. It is high school science. By definition the clear water down to 0° C, boils and a one metre of vacuum. Even ice goes directly into water vapour!
I advocate using a 20 Watts solar vacuum pump. 1 W will boil off one metre of water a second. The other 19 W will transfer it into a high tank or little reservoir.
We had issue with water in east africa but tks God we are over it, we have our own dam
We are all ready to work harder, but the US UK and Europe not helping creating chemicals, smoke air pollution missiles 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ selfish leaders don't give a s…. t about us
It is scientifically confirmed – the climate has cooled since 1995. Totally on the natural climate cycle of warming and cooling. Free water for England
https://freewaterfortheworld.blogspot.com/2022/08/free-water-for-england.html
Water company is have huge excess electricity at night. And the reservoirs flow near natural Rivers, or mostly. The answer to the present water shortage year's a level physics.
cheap fresh water for the southeast of England

The nuclear lobby had no interest in biology! Until they learned in horror that plants eat carbon dioxide. And that an active nuclear power plant building programme is mankind's fourth largest source of carbon emissions.
Anyone else think that the increase in warming has become exponential instead of a slow steady increase.
It has not stopped raining here in Australia for 3 months straight and I live in the dry, desert area of Australia but it has been very wet and green for months now.
THE UK IS ABOUT TO SUFFER A VERY GREAT DROUGHT BECAUSE OF THE SPORTING EVENT THAT TOOK PLACE, PEOPLE WORSHIPING THE BULL OF BAAL, WHCIH REPRESENTS THE SATANIC od OF BAAL, THE BULL!! THEREFORE, REPENT OF YOUR IDOLAARTY, THE WORSHIPING THE SATANIC SYMBOL OF BAAL, THE BULL AT YOUR SPORTING EVENT, AS THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS AND THE JUDGMENTS OF GOD UPON THE WICKED!!! REPENT AND GOD WILL BRING THE RAINS!!!

Do We Really Need 5G & 6G Technology?
This is the reason why water is drying up in the world:
5G and 6G Towers and Technology are drying up the moisture in the air, moisture in our bodies "biblical dry bones", and the water around the world. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerburg, and Jeff Bazzos the people in power dont give a damn as long as their hybrid technology: Iphone (sexual stimulant), Smartphone (sexual stimulant), and Devices work and the trade off is "white supremacist" and the new "black illuminati" can virtually molest men, women, children, and animals via the iphone/smart phone terror cell network – without your will or assistance.
