The weather, currently.
A sunny Friday before a cool, cloudy, and wet weekend.
We’re getting one more sunny day, and Friday will even warm up to the mid-to-high 50s, but then things are cooling down for the weekend. These sunny and (almost) warm days are going to get more and more scarce, so take advantage when you can. As usual, I’m setting myself an ambitious gardening schedule I may or may not be able to keep to. Then on Saturday we’ll be getting rain and fog, before Sunday transitions into lighter sprinkles thorughout the day. The fog seems likely to return on Sunday night, too. As usual, use extra caution on the roads, as the combo of rain and fog will impact visibility, while also making the roads slick.
What you need to know, 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.
