The weather, currently.
Sun with a weekend cool down
Writing from my hometown of Manhattan for the next few days, where fall is in full swing. It was 85 in Beverly Hills yesterday afternoon before I headed to LAX. When I landed in New York it was a cool 47.
Meanwhile, back in L.A., temperatures weren’t quite as warm as expected on Thursday, with low to mid-80s inland LA metro, to hotspot Woodland Hills at 93 degrees. Santa Monica, however, didn’t get out of the mid-70s.
Expect similar weather today, before a cooldown starts on Saturday and especially Sunday, with temps back down into the 70s as another trough comes through.
What you need to know, currently.
Since the Biden Administration announced the American Climate Corps (ACC) almost a month ago, over 42 thousand people have submitted an interested sign-up form. The sign-ups account for more than double the 20k jobs available in the first year of the ACC.
According to the White House, two-thirds of those who submitted are between the ages of 18 and 35, signaling that young Americans are excited about working on climate.
The American Climate Corps is a modern reimagining of New Deal-era concepts, with a focus on training young Americans in clean energy and climate resilience fields.
The idea behind a Civilian Climate Corps comes from youth climate and environmental justice activists organizing. You can read more about the Climate Corps here.
