Currently in Boston — July 25, 2024: Humid with hit or miss showers

The weather, currently.

On Thursday it turns warmer with highs in the 80s along with plenty of humidity. It will be one of those days with a few hit or miss showers and storms, but again, most of of the time is dry. Friday through the weekend will be sunny and warm with moderate, not high humidity. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.

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.
