Currently in Boston — June 15th, 2022
The weather, currently.
It was nearly a picture perfect mid June day and tonight will become clear and comfortably cool. Look for the full strawberry Moon rising on the Eastern horizon. Tomorrow is a cooler day but still warm with temperatures in the 70s as opposed to the lower 80s. Humidity will continue to be low tomorrow night with another comfortable sleeping night. It is a bit more humid later Thursday what temperatures in the seventies and a few showers except the stage for much warmer air for Friday when highest reach near 90° The heat won't last with temperatures back into the 70s over the upcoming weekend

What you need to know, currently.
We have a story up today from Currently’s Anna Abraham on apartheid’s lingering effects on the climate crisis in present-day South Africa.
“In present-day South Africa, the richest 20 percent control 70 percent of the country’s resources. Despite making up a meager 7.7 percent of the population, white people own a huge chunk of the most productive farmland. And this racial segregation, as established by apartheid, is still alive and well in South Africa, playing a big role in determining who can access economic opportunities. This also makes poor Black and colored communities more vulnerable to climate disasters.”
