Currently in San Francisco — August 16, 2024: Pleasantly warm weekend

The weather, currently.

Our weekend looks to be a beautiful one, with highs in the high 60s and low 70s, and winds from the west continuing to cool the city. We’ll see a mix of cloud cover and sun popping through between Friday and Sunday. The evenings will be cooler, down into the low 50s.

Enjoy the gorgeous weekend, and stay safe out there!

What you can do, currently.

A Media Matters analysis found that last year — the hottest calendar year on record — network coverage of climate actually declined in the US. What’s worse, just 12% of reports about climate change mentioned fossil fuels as the driving cause. The media still reported on extreme weather, but stopped short of making the climate connection.

Independent climate journalism like Currently is needed more than ever. And this year, with all of these weather warnings already underway, we’ll unfortunately have plenty of opportunities to do better.
