Currently in San Francisco — September 22, 2023: Warm weekend forecast with variable winds

The weather, currently.
Warm weekend ahead but watch for shifting winds
Moderate air quality (AQI 50-100, often shown as yellow on air quality maps) will persist through Friday morning. We may finally breathe relief after that, at least for now.
If predictions hold, look forward to sun and daytime high 60s temps on Friday, and through the weekend. Mild winds will continue, and overnight lows will stay in the mid-50s. But keep staying alert to shifting wind patterns, which may blow more toxic haze over SF and the larger Bay Area.

What you need to know, currently.
It’s my extreme thrill to announce a partnership with Science Friday’s book club series: During the month of October, Science Friday will be doing a series of events focusing on my book, The Future Earth.
You can RSVP for the book club discussion livestream here, and enter to win your free copy of the book — which will arrive just in time that you don’t miss a thing!
If you haven’t read The Future Earth yet, there’s an excerpt here, the book also features a series of thought experiments and small group exercises at the back, so it’s going to be really exciting to do all this with the huge audience that Science Friday will bring.
I wrote this book because I truly believe a better world that works for everyone is possible, and I wanted to imagine what it would be like to live in that world. If you’re in need of a bit of realistic hope-grounded-in-justice right now, I wrote this book just for you.
