Currently is the weather service I've wanted to build for my entire life.

We're combining some of the best meteorologists with weather journalists that will contextualize everything from hurricanes to fires to a good beach day to climate justice.

Maybe I'm idealistic, but this is a service that should exist everywhere in the world, for free.

That's our goal.

But to get there, we need the help from members, early adopters, and those that believe that this is a moment for transformational change.

We need you.

I talked with meteorologists and science journalists today in New Delhi India, Biloxi Mississippi, and Madrid Spain.

To meet this moment in history, we need to build communities of people who believe a better world is possible and are willing to fight for it.

We need you.

Currently is a weather service. I want to make that word 'service' our guiding principle.

If you have ideas for partnerships, I'm all ears: [e-mail]

If you'd like to make a one-time donation, you can do that here: paypal.me/tomorrowweather

If you'd like to subscribe to one of our free newsletters, we're in 16 cities and counting.

We'll have more coming on-line very soon — probably by later this week.

There's something here for you. Join us.

Huge thanks to our partners at @twitter for helping get this initiative jumpstarted.

I'm excited to do live @TwitterSpaces during the heart of fire and hurricane seasons — anything we can do to help folks work through weather anxiety towards flourishing in the climate emergency.

We are in a climate emergency. And it's going to take all of us to build a world built on care, solidarity, and connection.

I'll do everything I can to make sure @Currently is a step toward that world. 🌦️☀️🌱
