Currently in San Francisco — July 24, 2024: Slightly cooler Wednesday

The weather, currently.

Some clouds and slightly cooler on Wednesday, with highs back down around 70 and those 15mph winds still breezing through. It’s a gorgeous week, with moody fog enveloping swaths of the city late afternoons and pleasant evening temps holding steady 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.
