Currently in the Twin Cities — July 29, 2024: A hot week ahead

The weather, currently.

We are wrapping up our hottest weekend of summer 2024. Both days were near 90 degrees. Even Duluth reached a high of 91 Saturday. Embarrass, often one of our coldest spots in the state hit 90 also.

We’ll see the chance of some spotty storms Sunday night into Monday.

Sunshine and steamy weather are back for Tuesday with highs again near 90. The next chance of thunder will be late Wednesday into early Thursday. Sunshine with very warm and muggy conditions persist through Saturday after that.

Do You Know Why Smells Linger On Activewear Fabrics?

Activewear fabrics trap sweat & dead skin due to the tightly woven fabrics. Normal detergents coat over these so once your body heats up the stink returns.

ACTIVE detergent uses an enzyme blend to break down & remove sweat, oil, and dead skin fast!

What you can do, currently.

A Media Matters analysis found that last year — the hottest calendar year on record — network coverage of climate actually declined in the US. What’s worse, just 12% of reports about climate change mentioned fossil fuels as the driving cause. The media still reported on extreme weather, but stopped short of making the climate connection.

Independent climate journalism like Currently is needed more than ever. And this year, with all of these weather warnings already underway, we’ll unfortunately have plenty of opportunities to do better.
