You know this explains a few things - here in England the water companies, government and the media are always itching to declare a drought in the summer. We weren't even 4 weeks into summer 2023 and they were already announcing a hosepipe ban in the South of England and claiming the reservoirs were empty due to the "climate emergency". Now in actuality the water infrastructure especially in some regions of England is terrible and they don't even know how much of it they are losing to leaks. The population has also increased by 10 million in the last decade or so - most of it in the South of England yet at the same time they have spent the last 30 or 40 years removing reservoirs. Also if you look at the data it seems that rainfall has been on a very slight upwards trend over the last century or so.
Now as it turned out after we had a very warm and dry May and early June only for it to turn into a total washout which forced the lying media to run scare stories about it being hot in the Mediterranean in the summer and claim it was a "crisis" and just outright lie about what the temperature was - saying it was 10-12 degrees warmer than it actually was.
The weather just hasn't cooperated here to add to the hysteria about the "climate crisis". On the day the UN declared the era of "global boiling" had begun here in England it was bucketing down with rain. So this summer has been a bit of a bust for the lying media. Last year we had a very hot summer and it was pretty dry but despite attempts many boomers remember the summer of 1976 which was much drier. In many places there was no rain between mid march and mid September. The media however were mainly focused on "muh Ukraine" and "muh COVID" so were not best positioned to exploit it. Next year we are at the mercy of the weather as to how much success the globalists and the lying rat media will have in driving home these agendas. I will say this summer has been a bit of an L for them. At least here.
