High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Droughts in the United Kingdom are a relatively common feature of the weather in the UK, with one around every 5-10 years on average. These droughts are usually confined to summer, when a blocking high causes hot, dry weather for an extended period. However droughts can vary in their characteristics. All types of drought cause issues across all sectors, with impacts exending to the ecosystem, agriculture and the economy of the whole country in severe cases of drought. The south east of the country usually suffers most, as it has the highest population (and therefore demand) and the lowest average precipitation per year, which is even lower in a drought. Even in these areas in severe droughts, the definition, impacts, effects and management are all minimal in comparison to drought prone areas such as Australia and parts of the United States. In recent years however, the summers of 2007, 2008, 2009 and August 2010 were wetter than normal, 2007 being wettest on record, although water companies have predicted that due to the somewhat dry weather throughout 2011, a drought may occur during 2012 if substantial rainfall does not occur over the winter months of 2011-2012.
