Currently in San Francisco — June 25, 2024: Temperate Tuesday

The weather, currently.

More mild warmth — mid-60s temps — and some high humidity and wind on Tuesday. Low 50s nighttime temperatures will continue as well.

While other parts of the country is experiencing summer turbulence in the forms of major rain and flooding, I’m grateful for these calm periods in the Bay Area, relatively free of extremes.

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.
