Currently in NYC — July 31, 2023: Partly sunny and beautiful!

The weather, currently.

How is it the last day of July already? I’m not complaining- it was an extremely humid month and I’m ready to turn the page. The new chapter of August looks to start out less humid and mostly sunny which is how we’ll end the month. Monday will showcase dewpoints in the low 50s which will feel brisk compared to what we’ve recently experienced. Expect a high of 82°F with low humidity and a light west wind. It’s going to be a good one. Enjoy the day!

What you need to know, currently.

I’ll keep this short and sweet: Please consider becoming a paid member of Currently today.

Currently has a unique mission in the world: Build a community of scientists, journalists, and climate revolutionaries that together can co-produce daily ways of keeping each other safe amid the climate crisis.

Our daily local weather newsletters are amazing, but they’re just a start. Over the next few weeks and months we’ll be rolling out some exciting actions that have been in the works for the past two-and-a-half years:

• Member-ownership (voting rights, revenue sharing, and a tangible stake in our future)

• An interactive weather messaging service (with customizable push alerts for dozens of hard-to-find criteria your weather app doesn’t provide, plus live chatting with our team of meteorologists)

• Syndication of Currently stories (to help support the sustainability of local climate-forward news and reporting)

It’s just $5 a month or $50 a year to chip in your part to continue making this service possible — and to keep building revolutionary resources like these that will truly change the world. All members get first dibs on our new services, plus a share of direct ownership of our success.

Last week, y’all really came through. So right now we need just 176 new members before midnight July 31 — and I’d love for one of those to be you. Let’s do this!!
