Following one of the driest springs on record, experts warn that a hosepipe ban could be likely this summer in certain regions of England. The Environment Agency has declared drought status for areas like Greater Manchester and Lancashire, despite some recent rain. Dr. Jess Neumann, a hydrology expert, noted the northwest's driest spring in nearly a century, resulting in low water levels that may necessitate water-saving measures. Although a hosepipe ban is currently not imposed, the future will depend on the weather's trajectory.
A hosepipe ban could be on the cards this summer, experts have warned, following one of the driest springs on record.
The risk of a hosepipe ban in England is currently at a 'medium level' according to the EA following an unseasonably dry spring across most of the country.
Dr Jess Neumann highlighted that the northwest of England experienced the driest spring in nearly 100 years, impacting water levels significantly.
Despite recent rain, water levels in certain areas are low, indicating the possible need for water-saving measures if the dry conditions persist.
