Currently in Los Angeles — November 22, 2023: Cooling down for the holiday weekend

The weather, currently.

Yesterday’s warm up did not disappoint with Hollywood hitting the 80 degree mark, one notch above Palm Springs at 79. I love this time of year.

Wednesday should be slightly cooler but still above normal as the ridge of high pressure starts to move on. In its wake, an inside slider trough will send temperatures down by 10 degrees or more for Turkey Day and even more beyond as we get into the holiday weekend. Fri-Sun temps will remain in the 60s with a good chance of some marine layer. That’s all for now until Sunday. Enjoy the stuffing and I’ll enjoy my patented mac and cheese.

What you need to know, currently.

Some big news,

We just launched Currently Weather Service's first public offering! We’re hoping to raise $10,000 between now and Small Business Saturday. Your investment will make the difference in building Currently into a driving force for climate justice.

Starting at $100, you can become a direct investor in Currently and help us move forward with confidence.

We decided to partner with Honeycomb because they’re a platform that allows small businesses like us to raise money from our community instead of a bank. However, we’re not asking for donations like a Kickstarter or a GoFundMe - you actually get to invest in us — and you will own a part of the work we do together.

Thank you so much for supporting our important work to continue building an innovative personalized weather service for the climate emergency.

What you can do, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
