在英格兰南部部分地区,由于炎热、干燥的夏季水位低,水管禁令仍在继续。 A hosepipe ban continues in parts of southern England due to low water levels from a hot, dry summer.

截至2025年11月15日,白金汉郡、伯克郡和牛津郡部分地区仍实行水管禁令,包括邮政编码OX、GL、SN、RG4、RG8和RG9,原因是地下水和河水水平持续较低。 A hosepipe ban remains in effect across parts of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and Oxfordshire, including postcodes OX, GL, SN, RG4, RG8, and RG9, as of November 15, 2025, due to persistently low groundwater and river levels. 泰晤士河水指出,联合王国历史上最热的夏天是关键因素,平均气温为16.10摄氏度,降雨量低于季节平均降雨量的一半。 Thames Water cited the hottest summer on record in the UK, with average temperatures of 16.10°C and rainfall less than half the seasonal average, as key factors. 尽管最近的降雨帮助补充了用于水库的河流,但许多河流被干燥的土壤吸收,对地下供应几乎没有什么救济。 Though recent rains have helped replenish rivers used for reservoirs, much was absorbed by dry soil, offering little relief to underground supplies. 水电公司继续努力通过漏水修理、智能压力管理和需求监测来维持供水,但尚未确定解除禁令的日期。 The utility continues efforts to maintain water supply through leak repairs, smart pressure management, and demand monitoring, but no date has been set for lifting the ban.
