Currently in San Francisco — July 10, 2024: Morning fog before the heat returns

The weather, currently.

Wednesday morning, the fog is forecast to hang around even longer than it has previous days this week. It’ll be a funky intro to the heat slowly returning, with daytime temps heading over 70. Despite slightly higher afternoon highs, the overnight lows will stay 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.
