Currently in Portland — November 13th, 2023: Drizzle to start the week
Plus, the most customizable weather service in the world.

The weather, currently.
More drizzles to start the week.
Monday brings more of the same weather we’ve had all weekend—a cool and cloudy day with intermitant showers. But we’re seeing a pattern of dry breaks, and even sun breaks, so it’s not too hard to find chances to pop outside for walks or yard work. Low temps this week are going to start dropping, and flirting with freezing, though we aren’t quite there yet.
If you’re already dreaming of spring flowers, here’s some news: flowers have been spotted in Antarctica, but it isn’t good news. Instead, it’s one more indication of climate change and warming.
What you need to know, currently.
The new Currently Weather Service is designed to be a complete re-imagination of what a weather service can be in the era of climate change.
It’s the most interactive and customizable digital weather service I’ve ever personally encountered.
The launch version of the weather service is just the beginning. We want to continually improve this service in direct response to what people actually need and how people are using it. And that’s where you come in.
Could you take this two-minute survey right now to help us understand what your dream weather service would be like? (A few of you may have already received a link to the survey.)
This survey will be part of the baseline data we’ll use to build the weather service around the community’s needs and make sure it’s something people love to use.
For us, this launch is at the heart and soul of what we want to do and what we stand for: timely, accurate and easy to understand weather information for everyone, everywhere.
I’m so thankful to be taking this journey with you. More soon!
