People in the comments are so uneducated…Cold doesn’t = Wet. It hasn’t rained significantly in 40 days.
@brooklynUser123789 yep it’s absolutely insane. Do you also notice people have a lot of respiratory issues? I think it’s due to the lack of rain. I have a cough that just won’t go away. The rain tampers down dust and other allergens.
The park is so dry there are clouds of smoke when the wind blows. All it takes is some irresponsible smoker not putting their cigarette out. With this wind and a bunch of dry leaves, it's a terrible mix.

All the beautiful trees and animals. My heart is broken.
Bless the firemen
