Currently in San Francisco — July 17, 2024: Overcast mornings

The weather, currently.

Tuesday will open overcast, with the morning clouds sticking around as we all go about our day. Highs will reach the mid- to high-60s, depending on your proximity to the coasts, with cool winds continuing between 15-20mph. Nighttime lows will be in the mid-50s again.

This may be our last stretch of sub-70s daytime highs this month, if current forecasts hold.

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.
