With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

A mix of patchy low cloud and sunshine to start, but with sunshine gradually giving way to thickening high cloud spreading from the W.
A light West to Southwesterly or variable wind, may switch Easterly for a time and, after a colder start, recovering to 16 or 17C.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
