Drought warning declared in New York City for first time in two decades
Posted on 11/20/2024
For the first time 22 years, New York City is under a drought warning — the last step before a disaster declaration could impose mandatory water restrictions.
Unusually dry weather has been plaguing almost the entire United States for most of the fall. But the effects are particularly noticeable in the Northeast, where a record-breaking dry spell and abnormally high temperatures have lowered reservoirs and fueled wildfires in New York and New Jersey, states unaccustomed to fighting hundreds of blazes this time of year.
