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

A sunny but cold Monday to start the week.
I hope y’all had a relaxing long weekend! We’re sliding into another cold week, with a clear and sunny Monday. Looks are deceiving, though, as Monday will only reach a high of 50 degrees, and Monday night will drop below freezing, to 31. My birdbaths have been frozen over the last few mornings and I’m expecting that trend to continue. I finally splurged on a bird bath heater, to make sure the birds and other critters have water to drink while their usual sources freeze. Although it’s easy to remember that wildlife needs water during heatwaves, it’s just as important in cold temps—sometimes more so.
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.
