Persistent blocking high pressure systems since February are the cause of our dry conditions. The persistence is a result of a slow moving and wavy jet stream. It’s also brought very wet weather to southern Europe. Matter of luck where you end up! metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2025/w…

Why has spring been so warm and dry so far this year?

Spring 2025 has brought notably dry weather across much of the UK, with most regions seeing far less rainfall than usual.

Wow, so sewagemap.co.uk is now live for all English water companies. And I think it's fair to say England is looking rather sh*tty today... An important platform... well done @AlexGLipp for making this happen.

Climate change is bringing more regular extreme weather events. ⬆️ Last year we saw over 40% more rainfall than average, causing widespread flooding across the country. This #FloodActionWeek, make sure you're prepared for flooding: gov.uk/government/news/publi…

Another scale busting map! September rainfall for the UK. Huge variation but parts of southern England seeing over three & a half times their average rainfall. Incredibly Bedfordshire & Oxfordshire saw their wettest month (of any month) in at least 188 years.
