BBC - Drought Conditions, Already Severe "Set To Widen" In UK
?imgmax=800
Ongoing dry weather over the spring and summer threatens to place more areas of England in a state of drought, the Environment Agency (EA) has warned.
It singled out parts of western, central and south western England and parts of south east Yorkshire.
The agency said time was running out for rain to restore groundwater levels before the new growing season begins.
Earlier this week the South East joined most of East Anglia in a state of official drought. In parts of south-east England groundwater levels are lower than in the infamously dry summer of 1976.
