Currently in NYC — August 21, 2024: Calm, cool, and crisp!

The weather, currently.

Tuesday was so nice; let’s do it twice! Hope you liked today’s weather because tomorrow is pretty much an exact duplicate. Cooler air is firmly in place as we’re ten delicious degrees below average for a high of 74°F.

The dewpoint remains dry as does the sky. We will bask in more sun than clouds and continue to feel that crisp northwest breeze. It’s the perfect day to get outside whenever you can. The best news? High pressure ensures that we will have calm & sunny weather for days on end!

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.
