Well you can all see for yourselves that high pressure is set to dominate
over England and Wales and a lot of Scotland and Northern Ireland after
midweek. The effect of recent rains will diminish rapidly as evaporation
increases and soils dry rapidly. It is really quite shocking how dry my
local area has become. OK, the garden soil is nice and moist still and
rivers are flowing well, but the upland bogs above 500 metres are just
squelchy now rather than proper knee-deep boggy as they should be. Any dry
spell now and river flows will decrease markedly.
