The river Conwy flowing through Dolwydellan is the lowest ive ever seen it, there are certain parts where you can cross from bank to bank without touching any water.
Its just been announced that many parts of England will be facing a hosepipe ban, the first in many years.
Why has it taken them so long to come to this decision, as the Met Office had forecast the real possibility that certain parts of the SE and NW of England will not see any rain throughout July.
It rained quite hard for an hour or two yesterday in Dyffryn, but with the ground being so hard and dry, a lot of the moisture has drained away.
Still its nowhere near as severe as the drought of 1976.
I can remember both the Pontticill and Talybont reservoirs above Merthyr Tydfil, being bone dry, with not a drop of water in them.
The reservoirs in the Beacons are very low, but not bone dry.
