2025 gave the UK a serious drought. Reservoirs low. Rivers stressed. Hosepipe bans creeping in. Will 2026 be any better — or are dry years the new normal?

Broadmoor Lock, Oxford Canal north - A canal lock with closed wooden gates at the far end, partially filled with water, set within stone walls. On either side of the lock, grassy towpaths run alongside, bordered by trees and shrubs. A white ladder is fixed into the lock wall, and a signpost stands on the left bank. In the distance, narrowboats are moored along the canal under a canopy of trees.
A close-up view of the inside surface of an old canal lock gate on the Oxford Canal. The weathered wooden planks are covered with algae, moss, and signs of water erosion, with cracks and rough textures visible. Some patches of orange lichen add colour to the grey and brown wood. The image captures the age and wear of the structure, showing the damp, rugged detail of the lock gate.
Oxford Canal - A calm canal bordered by grassy banks and open fields under a cloudy sky. On the left bank, exposed tree roots and erosion are visible, while a single tree leans over the water, its reflection mirrored in the canal. In the background, a line of hedgerows and distant trees mark the field boundary, with a stone structure partly visible on the right-hand side.
Oxford Canal - An old, narrow canal lock chamber with murky water partly covered in floating leaves and debris. The lock walls are made of worn stone and concrete, with two white painted bollards standing on either side of the entrance. A dry-stone wall runs alongside the lock, separating the canal from the open grassy fields beyond. In the background, trees line the horizon under an overcast sky
This evening I had a walk along the Oxford Canal north from Cropredy. The Canal is not looking good. Empty locks, some pounds down nearly two feet, dried out lock gates and a feeder canal from the Clattercote Reservoir that’s been dry for months. #ukcanals #UKdrought #OxfordCanal #ClaydonFlight

River hydrograph
We had two nights of quite heavy rain at the start of the week. If you were wondering what this did to our trickle of a brook - well nothing

Can't remember the grass being this dry for a long time. It's like walking on snow. Won't be long before the trees start dropping leaves if the weather continues on this vein #perdiswell #ukdrought #ukweather

A water butt
Finally installed a water butt. If it ever rains again, we can collect it. The question now is what to do with the inaccessible little strip of stony ground behind it. No point in ornamentals or edibles there, so wildlife takes priority. Stinging nettles for the moths?
