Currently in NYC — August 13, 2024: A 10 out of 10 day!

The weather, currently.

How great did the weather feel on Monday?! That dry and refreshing breeze was incredible. Mother Nature is setting us up for another beauty on Tuesday. There’s even more sunshine and it’s a bit less breezy.

It still looks to remain mostly dry until the weekend. That’s okay because we’ve already had above average rainfall for the month. Central Park’s average for August is 4.56 inches. We’ve already received 4.10 inches! I’d say we’re due for a dry week. Enjoy the 10 out of 10 day, NYC!

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.
