Currently in San Francisco — July 23, 2024: Warm Tuesday

The weather, currently.

Tuesday will be even warmer, with highs heading into the mid-70s and sunny skies during the day. Overnight will remain cool, with lows in the mid-50s offering relief from any daytime heat your residence or workplace building may have absorbed.

With excessive heat warnings and heat advisories elsewhere in the Bay Area this week, it’s a relief this relatively mild day should be our hottest in SF for a while.

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.
