The geography of your location interests me - I can't remember what part
of the country you live in .. how is it that it could be so radically
different
in terms of water in alandmass so relatively small?
So awful what you are going through over there... it is unbearable here
too in many places and river sources are drying up but climate widely
different in our large continent and air conditioning is pretty widely
available.

Blisteringly hot here for the second time this summer. The ground (clay soil)
is almost impossible to dig. I am nursing a spectacular case of sunburn,
despite being slathered in factor 50 - which can be quite fun in other ways.
Luckily, the extra-high temps only last a week or so but the average
temperature has also been high for a long time so far.
We are lucky in this region regarding water, due to a huge investment in a
gigantic reservoir that turned out not to be necessary. During the 1976/7
drought the then head of the water company was asked about the possibility of
rationing and said
"If it stopped raining today and we simultaneously lost all the water in all of our
other reservoirs, I might have to think about introducing rationing in about 18 months or
so."
So the plants are still getting watered.

I am reading that the government in the UK is warning that Wildfires could
sweep across swathes of the country this weekend, with an “unprecedented”
risk.that devastating blazes may spread into residential areas, because of
bone-dry conditions and powerful wind.
I hope everyone across the pond is and stays safe. We live in such
difficult times.
