Currently in Seattle — November 17, 2023: Clear skies Friday, soggier weekend

The weather, currently.

Clear skies and sunshine! We’re in for another glorious day Friday, starting cold and warming up to mid-40s. The evening will stay clear and be perfect for catching the Leonids meteor shower, which peaks this weekend. 

You can probably count on light rain in the mix on both Saturday and Sunday. Which, honestly, isn’t so bad. Besides recharging our watersheds and filling the puddles for the kids to splash in, it will bring the kind of cozy vibes that make a weekend of holiday prep a little easier.

What you need to know, 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.
