The Environment Agency confirmed on Friday that Yorkshire was now experiencing drought conditions, with river and reservoir levels unusually low. The region had been in "prolonged dry weather" since late July, following an unusually dry September and lack of spring and summer rainfall. Yorkshire Water is not planning water restrictions, but encourages customers to use less water to help recovery.
