Currently in Portland — November 21st, 2023: A few more clouds

The weather, currently.

Tuesday will bring more of the same weather we started the week with, but perhaps a little darker and wetter. More clouds are rolling in Monday night that will stick around Tuesday morning, though we’ll get some sun breaks, too. Tuesday afternoon brings a chance of rain and by Tuesday night the rain is pretty likely. We’ll also get fog rolling in on Tuesday night—and don’t underestimate it. We’ve been getting fog thick enough to be dangerous on the roads, so be sure to double check driving conditions if you’re planning to be out and about.

We’re out of time for 1.5°C. I’m not sure what else to say. 💔

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.
