Currently in San Francisco — June 26, 2024: Windy Wednesday

The weather, currently.

The winds will be even stronger Wednesday, coming in around 20-30 miles per hour and gusting even harder in those various city corridors and coastline areas where 20mph feels like the daily average. These conditions will probably make our mid-60s highs feel cooler than that, and our overnight low 50s temps will also feel extra chilly.

Do your standard SF thing: carry a jacket, and expect conditions to vary widely.

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.
