It's raining, it's pouring - and the city's in a drought!

Announcement follows driest spring in 132 years.
STOKE-ON-TRENT and Staffordshire are officially in a drought, following the driest spring in 132 years.
Officials declared the drought status for the whole of the West and East Midlands yesterday - on a day of almost nonstop rain.
The Environment Agency (EA) announcement comes after rivers and groundwater have seen declining levels in recent months amid periods of hot and dry weather. The River Trent - which runs through the Potteries - received only 37% of the rainfall it normally does in June.
Now the agency will step up its operational response alongside ensuring that water companies followup on drought plans too.
