HELP! I had a very healthy pear tree with lots of fruit forming , 2 days ago I looked and almost all the forming buds have dropped off. What happened and what can I do to stop it happening next year.

It may be a reaction to the very dry spring we've had. I've been giving my small pear tree a couple of buckets full of water 2 or 3 times a week.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Have you had a late frost? Last year I lost everything to a late frost.
But as Dove has mentioned; the dry weather has been causing problems too.
