The weather, currently.
Marine layer morning, sunny afternoon
As we head into the weekend, this June-like pattern will continue with morning marine layer giving way to abundant sunshine in the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the upper 70s to around 80 away from the coast.
Those 90 and triple digit temps are a distant memory. If you want that, you’ll have to make the trip all the way to Palm Springs. I just might.
What you need to know, currently.
Today is the global climate strike — calling for an end to the era of fossil fuels.
The latest climate disasters and temperature data show that 2023 is likely to be the hottest year in the history of human civilization, and one of the most destructive and heart-wrenching. This is also likely to be the first year that global warming has surpassed the critical 1.5°C mark agreed to less than 10 years ago by the world in Paris.
We are in a climate emergency. And everyone has a place in the movement to bring about lasting change that will create a better future.
Today, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world are rallying to give their adult allies confidence to do everything we can to make this transition happen as quickly and as equitably as possible.
Here are some pictures of the day so far:

Together with @StopEACOPug we hosted a climate protest in Kampala. Four of our activists were arrested as we approached parliament. We demand for their immediate release and ask Uganda government to respect human rights. #StopEACOP#fridaysforfuture#GlobalClimateStrike
