Background
Drought in the Northeast began to form following a dry September in 2024. September 2024 was the driest on record at Islip, New York and Wilmington, Delaware, with numerous other sites recording a top-10 dry September across the region. Drought significantly expanded in the Northeast following a record-dry October, which in many places, was also the driest month on record. Philadelphia reached a record long rainless streak during this time. High temperatures in the Northeast further worsened drought conditions, with much of New England reaching a record high temperature on November 6.
