Currently in Los Angeles — June 26, 2024: Comfortable weather continues

The weather, currently.

It was a bit cooler across LA on Tuesday, with temps back in the low 80s around DTLA, with upper 80s for the valleys thanks to an increase of onshore flow. Expect similar comfortable weather Wednesday, which for those of us who panic when L.A. gets above 80 (or below 60 as a high in the winter), is just right.

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.
