Tay 'least severe' for droughts
Tayside is in the 'least severe' drought category - according to SEPA. The rest of Scotland has been experiencing problems with almost half the expected rainfall over the last six months.

SEPA is still urging the public to play their part in alerting it to any problems and by conserving where possible.
