Currently in D.C. — December 1, 2023: Here comes the rain

The weather, currently.

Happy December 1st! May this month brings us joy and lots of unexpected gifts.

Yesterday’s clouds were a trailer for today’s rain. We start with a cloudy morning that will turn into rain from 1 in the afternoon till 6 and maybe onwards. So, if you’re planning to leave the house don’t forget your rain jacket or an umbrella. Also, the maximum temperature will be slightly reduced and will only reach 51°F. All in all, we have another rainy weekend ahead. I hope you enjoy doing your favorite indoor activities or jumping in the puddles. And who knows, maybe we’ll see a rainbow in the process. Dolly Parton was wise when she said: “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”

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.
