DROUGHT IN ENGLAND
WARNING TO ECONOMISE WITH WATER WEATHER VERY WARM British Official Wireless RUGBY. 'Thursday. The Ministry of Health has sent a request to local authorities to economise their water supplies, accompanied by a warning that “statistics now available for a long succession of years indicate that the rainfall during the next few years may continue to tall short of the average.” Over practically the whole of Kngland there has been this year an abnormally low rainfall, unequalled since 1921.
The Ministry’s warning coincides with a spell of very warm weather. The shade temperature at Kew yesterday reached 89 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 18 degrees above the average day maximum for the middle of July, and has only once been exceeded since 1870.
