There's been around 70% of average rainfall over the last few years. Below average yes, but no matter how much name calling the moderators let you get away that doesn't change the fact that it isn't a drought.
It's a drought by government standards. It's a problem because the areas affected were already the areas with lowest rainfall, and are the areas that have seen the largest increases in population.
At a time of year when reservoirs should be brimming over, they are, well, not.
Read reports from the Environment Agency on the Anglian Water region, on the south-east here- spot the parts of Kent that had under 30% of "average" in February.
There is a big problem. Saying "there's not a drought" is not going to make the problem go away.
