Bone-dry Big Apple: Record drought brings Water Woes to New York City

Doug McIntyre from Climate Crisis 247 reports that New York City is currently experiencing its longest dry spell in recorded history, with no rain for thirty-nine consecutive days. The city is now urging residents to conserve water, with the possibility of stricter regulations if the drought continues. While it’s unclear whether this drought is due to climate change, long-term forecasts suggest New York will become wetter over time due to global warming. The economic impact of the drought has been minimal so far, but McIntyre raises concerns about potential damage to businesses if the drought continues.
