BOSTON (AP) — A stretch of unusually warm and dry fall weather has pushed portions of New England back into drought.

Nearly 43 percent of Connecticut and 32 percent of Massachusetts are considered to be in “moderate drought.”
Portions of Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island are also reporting moderate drought conditions due to the recent shortage of rain.
