It means water companies can take tougher measures to conserve stocks - while the Environment Agency has warned it will take "weeks worth" of rain to restore supplies.
Drought status now applies to a swathe of areas from Devon and Cornwall to East Anglia and up to Lincolnshire - as well as north and south London.
While a Met Office amber warning for extreme heat is in place until midnight on Sunday.
