Currently in San Francisco — June 27, 2024: Warmer Thursday

The weather, currently.

San Francisco will start to heat up on Thursday, with full daytime sun unveiled as the fog burns off, and temperatures rising toward 70, and maybe above in our warmer microclimates. The wind will also die down to 15-25 mph, still high but calmer than our extreme gusting on Wednesday.

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.
