I wonder whereabouts you are? I'm in South Texas which is currently going through a heat wave and drought the likes of which I've not seen (and it wasn't like it was cool and wet here before). Trees seem to be giving up, and I think I've noticed more animals dead on the road than ever before; I'd assume from heat exhaustion or thirst. Also a co-worker's well ran dry and apparently it's difficult to drill another because the local concrete supplier's well also ran dry. Meanwhile, my city (San Antonio) reports that they're dealing with a lot of water main breaks because of ground shifting. It all feels like the start of a dystopian near-future sci fi. I suppose to balance it out somewhat and not catastrophize too much, it seems like we have good water management because we aren't in the deepest level of drought restrictions and it seems like the state has quietly added a fair amount of solar energy which has been keeping our power grid from seeing major issues.
