Britons are being urged to save water by taking shorter showers amid fears of usage restrictions - such as hosepipe bans - following the country's dry spell.
It is the driest spring so far in more than a century, which has prompted warnings of a drought in England this summer without sustained rainfall.
As of Friday, 80.6mm of rain had been recorded for the UK this spring - nearly 20mm less than the record low for the full season of 100.7mm set in 1852.
With almost two weeks of May left, the Met Office has said it is too early to say how spring (March, April and May) as a whole will rank.
The Environment Agency has said there is a 'medium' risk of drought in England this summer without substantial downpours.
