Currently in Portland — December 1st, 2023: Get used to wet weather!

Plus, we're building a weather service for everyone.

The weather, currently.

Get used to wet weather!

Friday is kicking off a wet and windy weekend! Friday will bring rain, a high temp of only 48, and plenty of wind—plus gusts of around 20mph. Saturday is slightly warmer at 51, but still wet and windy. Sunday is warmer, if you can call it that, topping out at 56. But you guessed it, still wet. The consolation is that lows will be higher than they’ve been in a while, ranging from the high 40s to the low 50s. That also puts our high and low temps within about 5 degrees of each other many days. Do what you can to break up the cold and wet monotony and stay cozy out there!

What you can do, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
