Mostly cloudy and humid
Tuesday and Tuesday night are looking very similar to our Monday setup. It’s still unsettled with more clouds than sun and a chance of a few showers and storms. We’re in the mid 80s for a high and unfortunately, it’s even muggier than Monday. Sunrise is at 5:45am and sunset is at 8:20pm.
Fun fact: NYC average high temperatures begin to fall this week. Our average high on August 1st is 85°F. It drops to 81°F on September 1st and then 70°F on October 1st. Enjoy your day!

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.
