Currently in San Francisco — July 29, 2024: No-sky July in its final days

The weather, currently.

In its last few days, this month will finally earn its “no-sky July” nickname with heavy fog persisting into the first of the week after dense weekend clouds. I woke up Saturday morning and thought it had rained overnight! Did your weekend errands feel vaguely mystical, moving around in the shifting street-level clouds?

Anyway, Monday will be much like the weekend: highs in the mid-60s, winds up around 20mph, and cloud cover with a wee bit of sun peeking through, depending on your neighborhood. Smoke from the Park Fire near Chico is moving into the Bay Area; we’ll be keeping an eye on the air quality this week.

Do You Know Why Smells Linger On Activewear Fabrics?

Activewear fabrics trap sweat & dead skin due to the tightly woven fabrics. Normal detergents coat over these so once your body heats up the stink returns.

ACTIVE detergent uses an enzyme blend to break down & remove sweat, oil, and dead skin fast!

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.
