Currently in San Francisco — July 30, 2024: Warm Tuesday

The weather, currently.

Forecast is warm on Tuesday with highs up near 70, and partly sunny midday once the clouds give way. Winds will stay brisk; should be a funky, unpredictable day between the heat, cloud cover and breeze.

Incredibly, the Park Fire — now one of California’s largest fires, burning nearly half the size of Rhode Island — has not impacted air quality in San Francisco, with winds taking the smoke plume north. We’ll continue to monitor the AQI in case smoke and particulate head our way.

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.
