Currently in Chicago — November 29, 2023: One more chilly day, then warming

The weather, currently.

The clouds and cold temps will continue tonight through tomorrow, then we’ll settle into the 40s for the next week. Tuesday night will stay in the low 20s with a light breeze, then Wednesday we’ll see clouds in the morning clearing through the afternoon, and highs around 40. Things should stay clear for another few days, but we could see some rain on Thursday night and Friday.

One of my very favorite local winter destinations is the Garfield Park Conservatory. This art-deco gem is open to all, and right now their winter flower display celebrates the GPC Alliance Silver Anniversary with gorgeous holiday plantings.

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.
