Currently in Portland — November 29th, 2023: Partly cloudy

The weather, currently.

We’ll be waking up to lots of frost on Wednesday morning, which will transition to a partly sunny day by late morning. The high temp will only make it to the mid-40s, before the evening gets even colder, bringing back some frost and possibly rain overnight. The rest of the week looks pretty rainy, but the trade-off is that once the rain starts, the temps will ease up a bit, and we shouldn’t see a freeze for at least a few days. I finally put that bird bath deicer in place, so we’ll see if Wednesday night is cold enough to give it a fair test.

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.
