Watch: Green shoots finally return to Southsea's scorched earth after downpours of rain
Scorched earth in Portsmouth returns to normal
Green shoots are beginning to return to Portsmouth’s open spaces following the recent rain.
Much of the city’s green spaces had turned yellow as a result of the scorching sun and unusually high summer temperatures, with many areas also dusty as a result.
But as this footage from My Portsmouth By Drone shows, areas of green are returning including this part of Canoe Lake.
