Currently in San Francisco — July 15, 2024: A sweetly mild Monday

The weather, currently.

A new week, a relatively predictable forecast. Monday’s midday highs will hover in the mid-60s, with that nice wind we’ve had for so long now blowing in from the coasts at around 15mph. Evening fog will tuck us in with temps down in the mid-50s.

We’ll have some heat returning end of this week, so if you’re partial to our natural air-conditioning in SF, enjoy these next few days.

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.
