There is a lot of very heavy dew at the crack of dawn.
There is a lot of moisture around the crack of dawn here as well.

Grazing/hay sainfoin and lucerne grown on thin chalk soils are v drought resistant, if I remember from Agri courses at Reading Uni in the '70s. Is there any growing in pastures near you in Wilts?
Maybe a more informative set of comparative satellite pictures would be to show July 2017 and July 2018 shots. Everything is green in May, but that doesnt sell newspapers!
Raining here in the south on and off lets hope for lots overnight

Had a little bit of rain just now. Well, rain is over-exaggerating it. A very small number of tiny raindrops. Almost nothing. Didn't even wet the ground - probably wouldn't have noticed it at all apart from I happened to wander outside for a sec.
Haven't had rain since beginning of April. Grass is now 'crunchy' and even smells burnt when you walk on it. Some trees are dead, or look dead. Often see firefighters in the fields and heath tackling fires. And everything is so dusty now. Would appreciate some real rain over here.... even once ....
- but I sure wish we could have some rain.
Back in 1976 it was so bad they appointed a Minister of Drought. Week following it started to rain, and rain, and rain so they gave him a new job - Minister of Floods.
All true. His name was Dennis Howell. In '78 they made him Minister of Snow.
No candidates come to mind for the moment - no wets left.

Hi Helen. You complaining? In South Suffolk we haven't seen even one drop since April!
