Currently in Boston — June 25, 2024: A pair of hot days

The weather, currently.

Humidity levels will continue to drop through the overnight hours and set us up for a beauty of a day on Tuesday.

Look for temperatures to reach the low to mid-80s with a few upper 80s possible. Dew points will be in the comfortable range.

A southwest flow of more humid air arrives Wednesday with temperatures 85 to 90. Look for cooler air over Cape Cod with a breeze keeping temperatures in the 70s to near 80.

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.
