Currently in San Francisco — November 17, 2023: Last of the drizzly days

The weather, currently.

Friday we may feel a smattering of brief showers mixed with fog, and with winds increasing in the afternoon. Highs will reach the high 60s, and lows during the cloudy night into the weekend will drop to the mid-50s.

Saturday we’ll have another chance of marginal precipitation before Sunday becomes sunny and clear, finally ending the stretch of vaguely ominous (and often overhyped) drizzle predictions. Weekend highs will again hover in the high 60s, with overnight lows in the 50s.

What you need to know, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
