As if a 4.8 magnitude earthquake was not enough to shake things up in NYC, a new climate assessment released Monday says that NYC will be warmer and wetter, with plenty of rainy and hot days ahead — much of which can lead to intense flooding throughout the city.
The New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) announced its fourth full climate assessment report, dubbed NPCC4, confirming the city will be warmer with more extreme heat events. The report also indicates there will be growing risks from intense rainfall and inland flooding.
