London Dry Spell Tops Three Weeks, Longest Since Last Year’s Heat Wave

London hasn’t seen rain in 22 days, close to breaking the previous longest stretch from last July when record-breaking temperatures scorched the capital.

The UK’s capital last saw rainfall in May 14, and there doesn’t seem to be a chance of precipitation through at least June 9, according to the Met Office. This would mean the dry spell in London would extend beyond the previous 24-day record, when the lack of rain eventually led authorities to ban households from watering their gardens.
