Jersey to be in drought within days

Following an exceptionally dry start to April, during which just 4mm of rain has fallen since the beginning of the month, the rest of the week is expected to be dry and sunny.

And if no measurable rain falls before 9 am on Thursday the Island will be in an absolute drought – where no recordable rain falls for 15 consecutive days.

Forecaster Sharon Merren said: ‘High pressure is in charge of the weather and it looks like staying dry for a while yet. At the moment, the next time we could see rain is Saturday morning – but at the moment it is only a risk.’
