The weather, currently.

One last nice day
After a nice weekend we are going to see the weather go downhill this week.
Monday is the pick of the week with plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the 80s. There's no chance of any rainfall.
Humidity will increase on Tuesday as will the clouds. A Southwest flow of moist air will bring the chance for showers especially in the afternoon. Showers are possible into Friday each afternoon along with high humidity. There will be some sunny hours but I do think clouds will dominate until we get to the upcoming weekend when it turns hot.
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.
