Currently in NYC — June 5, 2023

The weather, currently.
Partly sunny with a gentle warmth
We begin the work week with gentle weather that will hopefully ease you in to all the busyness. Partly sunny skies and highs around 77°F will tempt you to step outside all day. Let it persuade you because we have multiple chances of light showers this week. We are not looking at anything heavy right now but just some sporadic sprinkles. We’re heading into a slightly cooler than average pattern for the next week or two. That’s fine with me. Hot weather won’t be far behind.

What you need to know, currently.
France Télévisions, the French public television network, has revamped its daily weather broadcasts to incorporate climate change. The change is being heralded by climate journalists around the world.
The goal is to “not just to say, ‘It will be sunny tomorrow or it will rain,’ but to explain why,” Alexandre Kara, the editor-in-chief of France Télévisions, said in an interview with the AFP news agency. Kara added that it is no longer “acceptable to be happy that it is 25 degrees [77 degrees Fahrenheit] in [the seaside resort town of] Biarritz in February without explaining why.”
Covering Climate Now
What’s more, their entire newsroom — not just weather journalists — will no longer fly to report on domestic stories “except in cases of urgent breaking news.” Bon travail, France Télévisions!
