Currently in San Francisco — August 2, 2024: Overcast weekend

The weather, currently.

Deep summer fog is the weekend forecast. Friday and Saturday, the sun may peek out midday but expect morning cloud cover and misty evenings. Sunday may be our foggiest day yet, persistently overcast all afternoon. Highs throughout the weekend will top out around 70 with steady winds blowing in from the coast.

Take water-resistant layers as you venture into the world, and be careful driving in low visibility! Next week the sun should return to us.

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.
