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.

Mayor Eric Adams says New York City is now under a drought warning. New York City officials say the drought has been caused by the dry weather, which increases the risk of brushfires and causes things like poor air quality.
