Drought declared across Yorkshire
A drought has been declared across Yorkshire by the Environment Agency.
It follows weeks of unusually dry weather in the region, leading to low water levels in reservoirs and rivers.
The announcement comes after England experienced its driest spring in more than 100 years, beaten only by 1893, according to the Met Office.
Yorkshire last experienced a drought in 2022, when a hosepipe ban was also put in place.
