flag New Jersey issued a drought watch on October 1, 2025, due to severe water shortages from prolonged dry weather.

flag New Jersey has issued a statewide drought watch starting October 1, 2025, urging voluntary water conservation due to prolonged dry conditions and rainfall one to six inches below normal over the past 90 days. flag Reduced streamflow, low reservoir levels, and severely depleted groundwater—especially in the Northeast and Coastal North—have stressed water supplies. flag Though the Coastal South saw near-average rain, groundwater recovery remains slow. flag The alert follows a 2024 drought that ended in June after spring rains. flag Officials attribute worsening conditions to climate change and may impose mandatory restrictions if rainfall doesn’t improve. flag Fire restrictions remain in effect in Passaic County.
