In 2025, Sutton, Surrey has experienced a significant drought, with April being the sunniest and third warmest since records began, and with only half the average rainfall for the area. Specifically, the Sutton Guardian reports that February had 44mm of rainfall, which was below the average of 55mm, while the Sutton Guardian also states that between March and May, only 30.5mm (1.18 inches) fell, less than 20% of the long-term average of 161mm (6.3 inches). While June saw 45% more rain than the annual average, with 90.5mm (3.56 inches), the Sutton Guardian notes that summer rainfall tends to evaporate or soak into dry soils, meaning the underground water resources were not significantly replenishing.
