Many people turn to Twitter for the latest news, even for weather-related emergencies such as an incoming storm or hurricane alert.
Now, the social media platform has told Axios it will be launching Tomorrow, a new weather service.
Tomorrow will first be rolled out in 15 North American cities and the Dominican Republic, providing the latest news on local weather reports. According to Engadget, climate journalists and meteorologists will be behind the feature’s content, helping users stay informed of noteworthy weather events in their area.
Twitter is also attaching a US$10 per month paid subscription option to Tomorrow, which will allow you to have an unlimited Q&A session with the meteorologists.
The subscription will also come with a weekly newsletter as well as early access to related podcasts and long-form writeups.
While it’s true that many people use social media platforms like Twitter as their source of news, even the weather, it’s still unclear if a paid subscription is worth the money for casual users.
It still remains to be seen what special insight or functions Tomorrow comes up with to back up this premium fee.
