Currently in Miami — September 22, 2023: Scattered thunderstorms

The weather, currently.

Drier air will finally move over South Florida on Friday, reducing the number of showers and thunderstorms compared to much of this week. Still, sufficient moisture will be available to support the formation of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the east coast in the late morning that will again move inland during the afternoon. Even then, these showers will be lighter and briefer than in previous days. Temperatures will be perhaps a degree or two cooler on Friday as well, with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s near the coast and around 90 degrees towards the interior.

El tiempo, actualmente.

El viernes finalmente llegará un aire más seco al sur de Florida, lo que reducirá la cantidad de aguaceros y tormentas eléctricas en comparación con gran parte de esta semana. Aún así, habrá suficiente humedad disponible para soportar la formación de aguaceros dispersos y tormentas eléctricas aisladas sobre la costa este a última hora de la mañana que se trasladarán tierra adentro durante la tarde. Incluso entonces, estos aguaceros serán más ligeros y breves que en días anteriores. Las temperaturas también serán quizás uno o dos grados más frías el viernes, con máximas vespertinas en los rangos medio a alto de los 80 grados cerca de la costa y alrededor de 90 grados hacia el interior.

What you need to know, currently.

It’s my extreme thrill to announce a partnership with Science Friday’s book club series: During the month of October, Science Friday will be doing a series of events focusing on my book, The Future Earth.

You can RSVP for the book club discussion livestream here, and enter to win your free copy of the book — which will arrive just in time that you don’t miss a thing!

If you haven’t read The Future Earth yet, there’s an excerpt here, the book also features a series of thought experiments and small group exercises at the back, so it’s going to be really exciting to do all this with the huge audience that Science Friday will bring.

I wrote this book because I truly believe a better world that works for everyone is possible, and I wanted to imagine what it would be like to live in that world. If you’re in need of a bit of realistic hope-grounded-in-justice right now, I wrote this book just for you.
