NYC Emergency Management has issued a drought warning for New York City.
Mayor Adams and officials made the announcement on Monday at a press conference. "As our city and watershed continues to experience significant precipitation shortages, today, I’m upgrading our drought watch to a drought warning, pausing our Delaware Aqueduct repair project, and ordering our agencies to immediately implement water saving measures," NYC Mayor Eric Adams said.
"Recent unseasonably warm weather and lack of precipitation have led to dry conditions for many counties in New York, resulting in Hudson Valley and New York City area counties being elevated to drought warning status and a statewide drought watch," NY Gov. Kathy Hochul said. Just 0.01 inches of rain fell last month on the city’s Central Park, where October normally brings about 4.4 inches of precipitation, National Weather Service records show.
