Currently in NYC — July 22, 2024: An unsettled and humid week ahead

The weather, currently.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We don’t necessarily have the greatest weather week ahead but it’s not too bad. A series of low pressure systems will traverse our area and that means unsettled weather is on the way.

For Monday, most of our day remains dry with mostly cloudy skies and a high of 85°F. The humidity gets cranked back up so it’s going to be a sticky day and a sticky week. Showers and thunderstorms come into play during the late evening and overnight. It’s a good idea to keep your umbrella accessible this week.

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.
