Currently in Los Angeles — July 9, 2024: Abundant sunshine

The weather, currently.

Another day well into the 80s with abundant sunshine across LA metro on Tuesday.

There was a bit of marine layer yesterday, which dampened temperatures a bit within a few miles of the coast. Elsewhere, 90s will continue to be the norm for the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys.

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.
