This happened as a result of a drought caused by abnormally high air temperatures in the region.
In Britain, due to abnormal heat for the first time in history, the sources of the River Thames dried up. This was reported by The Guardian.
Now the source of the river has moved from its official place of origin to more than eight kilometers downstream.
“After a long dry season, the source of the Thames in Gloucestershire has dried up and the weak stream is barely visible for more than five miles downstream. With a changing climate, we can expect the frequency and severity of such times of drought and lack of water. to increase,” he said. director of policy and science at the Rivers Trust, Rob Collins.
The meteorological office said the hot and dry weather showed no signs of easing, with little rain forecast for next week and temperatures above average, especially in the south, but lower to record mid-summer temperatures.
Despite the fact that during the dry season the source of the Thames moved, the UK did not impose restrictions on water use. Instead, residents are asked to be careful with tap water, such as turning off the tap while brushing their teeth.
Earlier it was reported that in Washington, two men and two women were seriously injured due to lightning strikes.
