In a handful of counties along the rural Oregon border, where late-season rains have done little to sate the parched forests and dusty plains, hundreds of farmers are at risk of having their irrigation water shut off - and watching their crops wither in the field.

The local water agencies served by the project say they may not have water to send to farms beyond next month. The last time irrigation supplies were this scarce in the upper Klamath Basin, 350 miles north of San Francisco, federal marshals were called in to maintain order after angry residents broke through a project head gate in protest.

UK coronavirus death toll rises by 121 up to 36,914 - the second-smallest increase since March

A further 121 people in the UK have died with coronavirus, bringing the total to 36,914. The deaths - which were recorded in the 24-hours to 5pm on Sunday - took place in hospitals, care homes and the wider community. The increase in deaths announced on Monday is the second-lowest 24-hour increase since March, and while Covid-19 deaths and cases are declining, there is often a lag in the figures reported at the weekends and on bank holidays, meaning they do not always offer a full picture of deaths in the period they are from. In the 24-hour period up to 9am on Monday, 73,726 tests were carried out or dispatched, with 1,625 positive results. The Department of Health said "technical difficulties" meant it was unable to provide a figure for the number of people tested in the 24 hours to 9am on Monday. On its website, some 17,473 people were said to have been tested under pillar one of the testing strategy - swab tests at Public Health England labs and NHS hospitals - but the figure for essential worker swab tests…

'Dominic Cummings Was Lurking Here': Barnard Castle joke blue plaque pokes fun at alleged visit

A fake blue plaque has appeared in Barnard Castle poking fun at Dominic Cummings' alleged visit to the town during the lockdown period. The prime minister's chief advisor travelled to County Durham in March to self-isolate with his family while official guidelines warned against long-distance journeys, apparently because he feared that he and his wife would be left unable to care for their son. Mr Cummings is accused of travelling to Barnard Castle - something he has neither confirmed nor denied - while staying at a property adjacent to his parents' home in Durham. Barnard Castle is around 30 miles from where Mr Cummings was staying, meaning if he had travelled to the town on April 12, it would have been against the lockdown restrictions. The sign on the wall in the town reads: "DOMINIC CUMMINGS WAS LURKING IN THESE PARTS, 12.04.2020."

Waning days of May generate summer-like heat

SOUTHLAND - (INT) - A strong ridge of high pressure is building over California giving the Southland some pre-summer temperatures this week. The highest numbers will bring an Excessive Heat Warning to the deserts through Friday where highs in the Coachella Valley could approach 110. Triple digits are likely across the inland valleys. There is a sharp thermal transition between the deserts and the coast where a strong inversion may lead to some May Gray. A sea breeze and a shallow marine layer will cover the beaches. By Friday, look for a cut-off low to approach the coast helping to flatten the intense high pressure ridge. That should help spread cooling inland.
