Currently in Los Angeles — June 25, 2024: A perfect day

The weather, currently.

Another very warm day is in store on Tuesday across the Southland, a common refrain these days as our perfect stretch of summer weather continues.

Monday had temps in the upper 80s near Downtown LA, the third day in a row with such weather. Expect 80s to be the regime again Tuesday under sunny skies. For those of you who like a cooldown, expect upper 70s once again for the beach communities. Perfect.

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.
