Currently in NYC — July 19, 2024: A fantastic Friday on tap!

The weather, currently.

This is the summer weather we want! You can actually enjoy the outdoors again. We have a beautiful day lined up for Friday with rather comfortable humidity levels and highs in the mid 80s. A high pressure system is in control through the weekend so sunshine will be abundant. 

Saturday and Sunday look like great days to be outside and Saturday is National Ice Cream Day sooo….. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s but the humidity stays manageable! Enjoy every second of your weekend!

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.
