Currently in Los Angeles — July 31, 2023: Some high clouds to tamper the sun

Plus, it's the LAST DAY of Currently's summer membership drive!

The weather, currently.

Some high clouds to tamper the sun

Saturday morning, there was a surprising band of precipitation on the radar out towards Covina and Ontario, tracking down to inland Orange County. A similar band of light rain showed up last week. Once things cleared out, though, temps were near 100 in the San Gabriel Valley. Some upper level clouds on Sunday made their appearance too, leading to partly to mostly cloudy skies depending on location. Expect a similar regime to start the work week, with upper 80s away from the coast, and 90s for the valleys.

I’ll keep this short and sweet: Please consider becoming a paid member of Currently today.

Currently has a unique mission in the world: Build a community of scientists, journalists, and climate revolutionaries that together can co-produce daily ways of keeping each other safe amid the climate crisis.

Our daily local weather newsletters are amazing, but they’re just a start. Over the next few weeks and months we’ll be rolling out some exciting actions that have been in the works for the past two-and-a-half years:

  • Member-ownership (voting rights, revenue sharing, and a tangible stake in our future)

  • An interactive weather messaging service (with customizable push alerts for dozens of hard-to-find criteria your weather app doesn’t provide, plus live chatting with our team of meteorologists)

  • Syndication of Currently stories (to help support the sustainability of local climate-forward news and reporting)

It’s just $5 a month or $50 a year to chip in your part to continue making this service possible — and to keep building revolutionary resources like these that will truly change the world. All members get first dibs on our new services, plus a share of direct ownership of our success.

Last week, y’all really came through. So right now we need just 176 new members before midnight July 31 — and I’d love for one of those to be you. Let’s do this!!
