We have hit the 10 out of 10 drought index in #Copenhagen.
Our garden pond has a water level about 10cm lower than it should be. The plants in the garden are starting to suffer. None of the toads we heard calling appear to have bred successfully this year, though there are plenty of newts.
The rainwater tank is empty.
No rain in the forecast for at least the next 2 weeks.

Blippy the Wonder Slug (MOVED)

According to the animated map of Germany, the Rhineland wine areas (also major agricultural areas in the east) have gone from generally OK to wilting point in the past 2 weeks.

No rain is forecast, and the grapes are starting to bud. I predict a poor harvest this year, and rapidly declining harvests for the general future.

I also predict that by 2033, just 10 short years from now, the vineyards above me are going to be sandy scrub hills.
