Currently in Seattle — November 29, 2023: Enjoy the sunshine before the rain

The weather, currently.

Wednesday is our last day in this long stretch of sunshine, so make the most of it, Seattle. We’ll have some cloud cover and a light wind, with a high of 42. 

Lows will still get down into the low 30s so bundle up. You won’t need your raincoat, though, unless you’re out around 4 a.m. Thursday morning, when the chance of rain picks up.

After a dry November, one reason to greet the coming return to rain is that we still need to recharge our watershed. (The other, of course, is snow in the high country.)

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.
