Currently in Seattle — November 22, 2023: Misty Wednesday, radiant weekend

The weather, currently.

Wednesday rolls in with a little early morning drizzle, but should be pretty dry until early afternoon. Then the mostly cloudy sky might deliver something resembling a suspended dew for a few hours. But that’s it for rain.  

Thursday-Sunday, we should have dry skies and radiant (cold) winter sunshine lasting through the long holiday weekend! The mountain weather looks more dynamic, so be sure to check passes and conditions if you head out of town. 

Before I sign off for some time with friends, family, and the outdoors, let me just say how grateful I am to be here in community with you. I look forward to tuning in every day to the natural rhythms of this place we share, even as they change with the climate. Thank you, and I hope you find a little joy and light in the next few days.

What you need to know, currently.

Some big news,

We just launched Currently Weather Service's first public offering! We’re hoping to raise $10,000 between now and Small Business Saturday. Your investment will make the difference in building Currently into a driving force for climate justice.

Starting at $100, you can become a direct investor in Currently and help us move forward with confidence.

We decided to partner with Honeycomb because they’re a platform that allows small businesses like us to raise money from our community instead of a bank. However, we’re not asking for donations like a Kickstarter or a GoFundMe - you actually get to invest in us — and you will own a part of the work we do together.

Thank you so much for supporting our important work to continue building an innovative personalized weather service for the climate emergency.

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.
