Currently in NYC — July 17, 2024: Hot and humid with thunderstorms possible

The weather, currently. 

One. More. Day. We can do this.

Wednesday’s weather leaves much to be desired but relief is on the way. Hot and very humid conditions continue as does our Heat Advisory. It will feel like it’s between 95°F and 100°F again with an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms. A much needed cold front may cause strong winds and flooding rain in any storm that develops.

We are in a Slight Risk for severe storms with the main timeframe being between 4pm - 2am. Stay weather aware and stay pumped that this hellacious heat is almost out of here!

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.
