Currently in Boston — August 13, 2024: Two beautiful days ahead

The weather, currently.

A few evening showers Monday will depart and set the stage for two beautiful days ahead. Temperatures will be starting the day in the 50s to lower 60s. In the afternoon it will reach near or a little above 80 both Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Thursday, a weather system will approach bringing a few more afternoon or evening clouds and just a small chance of a shower. It will continue to be seasonally warm with readings near 80°. Friday and Saturday are looking pretty nice before the chance of showers arrives again on Sunday.

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.
