Currently in NYC — June 27, 2024: Becoming sunny and less muggy

The weather, currently. 

We kick that humid air to the curb on Thursday and are treated to a less humid day. It’s a little cloudy to start but the skies clear and bring us a mostly sunny afternoon. Our high still hits the mid 80s but compared to the sauna of Wednesday, it’s a winner.

Relish the nice day and prepare for an even better one on Friday! It’s looking like a perfect TGIF! We’re in a good zone here so I plan to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Enjoy the last Thursday of June!

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.
