Dry Apple: New York City Faces Rare Drought as Climate havoc spreads

In response to a month-long drought, New York City Mayor Adams has requested residents to conserve water, a rare move in the city’s recent history. Climate Crisis editor Doug McIntyre, who has lived in New York for fifty years, remarks on the unusual nature of this dry spell, noting that climate models typically predict a wetter future for the region with increased flood risks. McIntyre cautions that if the drought persists, water restrictions may become mandatory and also underscoring the unpredictable nature of climate shifts.
