Britain officially declares a state of drought in parts of the Kingdom

The British authorities officially announce that a number of regions of the Kingdom have entered a state of drought due to the high temperatures, as some rivers have dried up and water tanks have been sent to a number of small villages after their water tanks have dried up.

The British government officially announced, on Friday, the transition of a number of regions of the Kingdom to a state of drought due to the high temperatures and lack of precipitation.

Drought hit parts of the southern, central and eastern parts of the Kingdom after a long period of hot and dry weather, according to the National Drought Group of the British Environment Agency.

Following the declaration of a drought, the British government will impose restrictions on the commercial use of water in the affected areas.

Britain's Guardian newspaper quoted the Environment Agency as saying that "there are no strong signs of significant improvement in the current drought conditions."

The announcement came after the United Kingdom witnessed a new heat wave this month, after a severe first wave recorded last July, when the temperature exceeded the 40 degrees Celsius barrier for the first time in its history.

On Tuesday, the UK's Health Security Agency issued a health warning that will run into Sunday of rising temperatures across Britain.

Other parts of Britain are also facing a hose ban amid very dry conditions, as firefighters warn of bushfires.

Across the UK, rivers have dried up and water tanks have been sent to a number of small villages after their water tanks had dried up.

The dry weather has also led to an increase in the number of forest fires, which has strained fire services and put citizens at risk.
