Are we heading for a hose-pipe ban?

Pretty normal for summer - there has been a fair bit of rain in the past week
No.. 18% down for the time of year.

Rainfall has been lower for a good six months.
If you prefer anecdotes over facts then
I put in a wildflower meadow this spring but had to hold off sowing for a few weeks as the ground was so dry. Since then it has really struggled to establish with the lack of rain.

Met Office records for Whitby weather station show that rainfall has not topped 55mm in any of the 1st 6 months of 2022. June is usually quite wet but there was only 17mm of rain this year for the whole month.
Our spring flow is down to below 1 litre/min (for 4 houses) just praying it keeps going until we get some decent rain.🤞
 
50% down in the reservoir closest to me here. Really good graphs from the water company comparing dry years, last year and this year.

Definitely dryer this year. Still plenty of water but lowest since 1991 apparently so far and falling.
