Currently in NYC — July 25, 2024: One more day of this humidity

The weather, currently.

One more day of unsettled weather before we catch a break! Thursday will still be quite humid, especially in the morning. It’s going to be another clammy commute 😅. We’re warm but not hot with a high of 85°F. Skies will remain mostly cloudy with just a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm.

But then, enter my two favorite words:  “cold front.” That’s right; a cold front moves through late in the day and drops our humidity! It also ushers in a north wind which will feel downright amazing overnight and into Friday. We can deal with more day of this humidity, right? TBD. Have a nice Friday, Jr.!

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.
