Currently in NYC — August 12, 2024: A gorgeous stretch of weather begins…

The weather, currently.

Things are looking up and it’s about time! We’ve got days upon days of sunny weather and you want to know the best part? The humidity won’t be a problem! We’re approaching mid-August and it will feel warm but not muggy. It’s a beautiful thing.

Monday starts us out with partly sunny skies and a bit of a breeze out of the west. Our high is a rather comfortable 82°F and aside from it being Monday, there’s not much to complain about. Hope your week starts off easily!

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.
