Currently in San Francisco — July 16, 2024: Warmer Wednesday

The weather, currently.

The cool mornings should persist, thanks to our continued cool nights with variable cloud cover and lows in the mid-50s. But the high on Wednesday will climb a wee bit higher than previous days, up toward 70, where daytime temps are likely to stay for the foreseeable future. Winds will stay steadily around 17mph.

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.
