Parts of England are likely to declare a drought on Friday, local media reported ahead of a meeting between the government, its environment agency and water companies to discuss a long period of dry weather.
Parts of England are in the middle of their second heatwave this summer with temperatures forecast to top 30 Celsius for the next few days, having reached their highest ever of more than 40C last month.
That, coupled with continued dry forecasts, is expected to push some areas of the country to formally declare a drought after a meeting of the 'National Drought Group' which is due to begin on Friday morning.
