Weather Extremes & Negative Climate Change (Whatever the cause, it IS happening)
I. Americas - New York City, State of New York, USA
"NYC issues first drought warning in 22 years, pauses aqueduct repairs to bring in more water.
New York City on Monday issued its first drought warning in 22 years after months of little rain -- and will restart the flow of drinking water from an out-of-service aqueduct as supplies run low.
Dry conditions across the Northeast have been blamed for hundreds of brush fires. They had already prompted New York City and state officials to implement water-conservation protocols when Mayor Eric Adams upgraded the drought warning and temporarily halted a $2 billion aqueduct repair project that had stopped drinking water from flowing from some reservoirs in the Catskill region."

II. Americas - Northeast States
"Residents of the Northeast United States are not accustomed to worrying about drought. Indeed, the Gulf Stream reliably dumps moisture on the region — except when it doesn’t.
Lately the Northeast, along with large swaths of the rest of the country, has been afflicted by unusually dry conditions; parts of some states, including Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut, have even reached “severe drought” status. And when long stretches of dry weather combine with heat and wind, you also have to worry about wildfires.
In a guest essay published on Monday, the author and journalist John Vaillant, who grew up in Massachusetts, describes the baffling transformation of the region this fall into a place battling hundreds of wildfires, some of them thousands of acres in size, with no end in sight. While brush fires in the fall are common in the region, what’s different this year is that there are far more than usual, and bigger ones than usual, and some are proving unusually difficult to fight."
