Currently in Los Angeles — August 12, 2024: Sunny skies

The weather, currently.

Sunny skies will prevail on Monday with mid 80s for LA metro to near 90 for valleys. Expect this cooler and more comfortable pattern to persist at least in the near term.

What you can do, currently.

A Media Matters analysis found that last year — the hottest calendar year on record — network coverage of climate actually declined in the US. What’s worse, just 12% of reports about climate change mentioned fossil fuels as the driving cause. The media still reported on extreme weather, but stopped short of making the climate connection.

Independent climate journalism like Currently is needed more than ever. And this year, with all of these weather warnings already underway, we’ll unfortunately have plenty of opportunities to do better.
