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.

@Ruth_Mottram Here in the west of Scotland (normally a very wet place) there has been no rain at all in May and there is forecast to be no rain at all in June.

Our grass is at this moment still lush and growing well, but I am deeply concerned that we are going to face real problems later.

@simon_brooke @Ruth_Mottram I have *opinions* on their ability to create pdfs with images.
