Drought??
Cornwall has been under a hosepipe ban since August 2022.
In November 2022, SW water said:-
Reservoir levels across the South West are now very low and, in particular, are extremely low in Cornwall, following one of the driest periods in the region for over 130 years. Levels continue to fall and will remain low for the foreseeable future, without a sustained and substantial period of rainfall this Autumn, which is not currently forecasted.
They seem to have removed this paragraph from their website now!
I thought I'd check with an independent rainfall monitoring site. I chose Newquay Weather station.
