We will all become acclimatised.. Then the rain and cold will come along to freeze our  bones..

I was reading yesterday that further up country  (I've forgotten where)  they  built a new 3 million pound reservoir to help -   but its almost empty already!

Mega-reservoir runs dry after a year

The Telegraph

3 days ago — Mega-reservoir runs dry after a year. Elveden Estate says it will struggle to support its farmland now that the £3m basin is almost empty.

That's not a reservoir it's just a puddle in a field. Or was. Now it's just a dip in a field. Proper reservoirs cost in the billions not the millions.
