Currently in San Francisco — August 5, 2024: Monday morning fog?

The weather, currently.

Despite believing the forecast that our weekend would be dramatically overcast, I found myself chasing — and never really catching — the fog on Saturday, even out in the Presidio forests by the Golden Gate.

Monday is expected to be foggy in the morning, but will that turn out to be true? Whatever the clouds do, we should see midday highs in the mid-60s and winds from the west around 15 mph. Evenings stay cool in the mid-50s.

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.
