Wales moves into drought recovery after September rainfallNatural Resources Wales (NRW) has confirmed that parts of the country affected by drought this summer have now moved into recovery following significant rainfall in September. Drought was declared for south-east Wales on 14 August and for north Wales on 29 August. South-west Wales, which had been classed under “prolonged dry weather” status since May, is now moving into “recovery from prolonged dry weather”. “While September has brought some significant rainfall – even leading flood warnings and surface water flooding incidents – in some areas we are still seeing rivers regressing back after the rainfall has landed. Anyone concerned about environmental impacts from the drought, or pollution, is urged to contact NRW’s incident hotline on 03000 65 3000.
