Currently in San Francisco — June 24, 2024: Winds continue Monday

Plus, independent climate journalism needs your support, now more than ever

The weather, currently.

Wind and fog stick around

Our windy, foggy summer season seems to be staying put, with mid-60s temperatures and persistent winds forecast for Monday. Overnight lows will again dip into the ‘50s, where they’ll likely stay much of this week.

Have you noticed any wildfire smoke in the area in the city? So far, I’m only smelling the occasional early fireworks.

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.
