Currently in Boston — July 30, 2024: Warmer and more humid

The weather, currently.

After a cooler than average Monday it is back to the warm and humid pattern for the rest of the week.

A mix of clouds and sunshine is in the cards for Tuesday and there will be a small risk of a shower away from the coastline. Highs reach into the 80s in the afternoon.

Wednesday an upper level system brings a chance of showers and storms in the afternoon with highs 80-85. The chance of showers lowers again for Thursday and Friday with more heat and humidity. Highs will approach 90 away from the beaches. The weekend looks warm, but a few showers are possible.

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.
