The area's highest rainfall totals since September weren't enough to reverse the recent lack of precipitation, according to the National Weather Service.
A merciful shower of rain hit New York City on Sunday evening after weeks of no measurable precipitation — but that doesn’t mean the dry days are over, meteorologists say.
Just under a quarter of an inch of rain fell on the city late on Sunday before ending on Monday morning, according to James Tomasini of the National Weather Service. He said dry conditions were likely to continue this week, with only a 20% chance of rain on Thursday. “It really looks like we are going to have mostly dry conditions through the rest of the week and actually into the weekend,” he told Gothamist on Monday.Before Sunday, the last time the city recorded any measurable rain was on Oct. 29 — and prior to that, it was on Sept. 29, the National Weather Service said.
Also over the weekend, Adams announced he was temporarily banning grilling in city parks to reduce the risk of fires spreading out of control. And as of Monday, firefighters in West Milford, New Jersey, wereby taking shorter showers, running dishwashers only when full, repairing leaks and not leaving faucets running while brushing their teeth, among other steps. City agencies are also updating their plans to implement stricter water conservation measures if necessary.
