Currently in D.C. — November 21, 2023: Rainy and cold

The weather, currently.

The murky weather continues today, and we can expect heavy rain all day long. It will also be cold with a highest of 56°F and a windchill sensation in the 40s. This is not the weather I was hoping for this short, festive week, but it definitely gives us an excuse to stay inside and eat delicious things (although in my case that means ordering something because my fridge looks pitiful right now.) Whether we enjoy or suffer this weather it’s a choice. Quoting Roger Miller: "Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet."

What you need to know, currently.

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.
