Currently in NYC — October 12, 2023: Awesomely autumnal

The weather, currently.

Maybe weekends should be moved to Wednesdays and Thursdays so we can actually get some nice weather on our days off. Thursday is looking like another winner with temperatures in the upper 60s once again. We’ll have a few more clouds in the sky so we end up with a partly sunny day. Winds change from the west to the north in the evening and a mostly cloudy and brisk night awaits. Enjoy your Friday Eve.

What you need to know, currently.

A new comprehensive summary of September’s shocking global temperature record was published on Wednesday. It’s worth a read in its entirety — it give an overview of exactly what happened, why, and what we can expect over the coming year or so as a result.

I’ll leave it at that. This graph says it all.

We are in a climate emergency.
