Currently in Los Angeles — June 24, 2024: Mostly sunny

The weather, currently.

What a difference a few weeks make. After being mired in May Gray and June Gloom, things have really been heating up across SoCal, with warm temperatures during the day and even at night. By 10am on Sunday, it was already 82 in Hollywood.

For Monday and the start of the workweek, expect a gradual cooldown, though there should be some more humidity in the mix with Alberto’s moisture still around. Expect upper 80s to low 90s away from the coast, with upper 70s at the beaches.

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.
