Today’s fake news from the BBC:
Scotland is known for its rainfall, famed as a lush, green, soggy nation.
Not this year.
Water levels are way below average after the driest spring since 1964 and a hot summer.
The problem is especially acute in the east of the country, where the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) is now introducing curbs on some water use.

So far, so good. Until, that is, they wheeled out the usual climate numptie, who is either utterly incompetent or lying through her teeth:
Part of the problem, he goes on, is Scotland’s relationship with rain, and the perception that in a land of more than 30,000 freshwater lochs, water must surely be abundant.
This, insists Dr Rebecca Wade, senior lecturer in environmental science at Abertay University in Dundee, is simply not the case.
"Our climate is changing which means that sometimes we have a lot less water than we’re used to having," she explains.
"Also, when we do get rainfall, it comes in a different pattern.
"So we might get a very intense short storm, and that could even cause localised flooding, but at the same time, it doesn’t resolve the drought situations because it’s not recharging the groundwater. It’s not filling up the reservoirs."
Are droughts getting worse in Scotland? Silly question really:
Not only was the dry spring this year not exceptional in the least, rainfall was above average in June/July!
And what of that nonsense about intense storms?
There is no evidence of this in the Met Office’s daily rainfall data for the three Scottish regions:

Climate scientists are increasingly becoming lie the old Soviets – they are so immersed in their own propaganda and outright lies, that they end up believing it all themselves.
