Currently in Los Angeles — August 13, 2024: Continued seasonably warm

The weather, currently.

For Tuesday in LA, expect 80s for LA metro and near 90 for the valleys. The beaches will be in the upper 70s.

A couple of troughs to the north of us will curb some of the monsoonal moisture that affected some of the forecast area, and especially San Diego County and inland.

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.
