September will bring a deluge of rain to NYC, according to forecasts

This year’s Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be more active than normal due to near-record warm ocean temperatures, with between six and 10 tropical storm systems in September.

Meteorologists are anticipating that the shift in weather patterns and active hurricane season may significantly impact New York City, raising concerns about preparedness for potential storms.

The uncharacteristically warm waters raise possibilities of a hurricane impacting New York City next month, prompting the NYC Emergency Management to urge New Yorkers to be prepared.

The last major hurricane to hit NYC was Hurricane Sandy in 2012, which caused $19 billion in damages and significant loss of life, underlining the need for preparedness.
