Currently in Boston — June 24, 2024: Warm week ahead

The weather, currently.

We are looking at a nice day on Monday with clouds giving way to mostly sunny skies and temperatures into the 80s. Humidity levels will fall in the afternoon.

It looks as though the humidity and warmth will continue on Tuesday. Temperatures will get back into the 80s and it will become a bit more humid again. By Wednesday, humidity and heat bring back the chance for a few showers and thunderstorms. These will push offshore and leave us with sunshine and warm conditions for the end of the week.

I don't see any major prolonged heat for the Northeast this coming week in spite of the heat in the rest of the country.

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.
