Wales is officially not having a drought at the moment, unlike the south east of England, but we have had a dry winter and water levels are not high.
We went for a walk on Saturday up into the Vale of Neath where there are lots of waterfalls coming down off the Black mountains, and we went to look at two of them. The waterfalls were very pretty but the amount of water in the rivers was at the sort of level you would expect in the late summer. The river beds were not full, and the couple of feet of depth which you can tell would be the winter water level were high and dry.
If this is officially NOT drought it is nevertheless a bit worrying

I was looking on a website which explained how different countries defined drought. In the UK it is something like 30 days with no rain. As opposed to Libya where it is 2 years! Everything is relative I suppose
