VARIOUS DRONE SHOTS OF MITCHAM COMMON NATURE RESERVE WITH SHRUNK SEVEN ISLANDS, AND DRIED PLANTS LONDON, UK - AUG. 7: Water levels in ponds across London's parks have fallen sharply as drought and prolonged hot weather continue to affect much of England. Footage from Seven Islands Pond in Mitcham Common showed significantly lower water levels as successive heatwaves and below-average rainfall left visible impacts on the capital's green spaces. An official drought has been declared across more than half of England after record-low rainfall and persistent dry conditions. Authorities warned that low river flows, shrinking reservoirs and an increased risk of wildfires are among the effects of the drought, while further restrictions on water use may follow.
