The summer of '22
This is a screengrab of a satellite image released today by the Met Office. For those abroad who may be less familiar with UK geography, hover your mouse over the image to see a small note showing we are in one of England's driest parts during this prolonged drought. We have not had a single spot of rain for the last six weeks and I'm pretty sure that it is rather longer than that. There has been no water in our rain barrels for over three months.
The solution is simple. Bring back Denis Howell who in 1976 was appointed Minister for Drought aka by many with a wry eye as "Minister for Rain". As soon as he was appointed severe thunderstorms broke out at the end of August. Thunderstorms are indeed expected next week so the government-in-stasis is missing a propaganda trick.
Meanwhile compare and contrast to the satellite image below from December 10th 2010 of the UK covered in snow!
