    drought risk high for England next year

    Drought risk high for England next summer, government warns | Environment | guardian.co.uk

    Anyone know what the water levels are like in our reservoirs? maybe we can sell them some of our water.

    If there's a drought in England. . . Do you think there might be one here as well?

    i doubt it. sent lots of time in the south of england.its pretty much a different climate to ireland. nice hot summers and very little rain. coming back to Dublin I really noticed the amount of rain we get and dublin is one of the driest places in ireland.

    Joined-up thinking? On p.ie?

    It's raining here at the moment in the south of England, but yes, had been mostly dry lately, apart from July.
    Quite a different climate to Ireland. Coming from Dublin, you really notice the lack of rain here. Just enough to keep the place green.

    Ireland might have a drought, but if so, it will be because of old, unmaintained infrastructure. Leaky pipes.

    I'd settle if they could accurately forecast the weather for the weekend....

    It might do the arrogant bast#rds no harm, I think why not give them a bit of famine as well. They are worth it.
