It Might As Well Rain Until September?

There are said to be record low river levels, across the UK. It's suggested that rivers are likely to be 'devastated' if forecasts of broadly dry weather, until at least May, 2023, actually occur (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/13/uk-river-levels-record-lows-forecast-dry-spring-water-companies). It's certainly important to conserve our rivers and their contained biota. It's also true that that England's privatised water companies ought to be helping to conserve more water by building more reservoirs and fixing their extensive leaks. However, it hasn't stopped raining in South Wales since this drought was forecast. That always seems to be the way with climate change? We get rain but it's not always in the right places.
