It's thought a drought could be declared from tomorrow in the South West, following the beginning of a four-day amber extreme heat warning.
Waterways will be below normal levels and it's set to be England's driest July since 1935, with temperatures due to rise above 40C for the first time.
If a drought is implemented, it will mean people living across the South West can expect to see multiple restrictions on the domestic and commercial use of water, including hosepipe bans.
