Currently in Boston — November 21, 2023: Building towards some rain

The weather, currently.

It will start sunny on Tuesday but clouds will increase ahead of the next storm system. Rain will hold off until after 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. Tuesday night. There may be some snow in the higher elevations of the Worcester hills and the Berkshires but especially up in northern New England.

On Wednesday it turns a bit milder with the rain continuing for the first 2/3 of the day. If you are traveling be aware roads will be wet there could be some slick travel in far northern New England early in the day. Looking ahead towards Thanksgiving the rain storm will be over and it will be mostly sunny but chilly with highs in the forties. It stays dry for Black Friday.

We’re out of time for 1.5°C. I’m not sure what else to say. 💔

What you can do, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
