Spotify has teamed up with AccuWeather to build Climatune: [W]e conducted a comprehensive study into the connection between music and weather. We partnered with AccuWeather, to gather data from hundreds of weather stations around the world. This included a year’s worth of data mapped to six different web toys: sun, cloud, rain, snow, wind, and clear night. We then correlated this with 85 billion anonymized, aggregated streams in over 900 cities, to uncover any patterns. Expand - View Original
This is the first time I've reconsidered my decision to switch to Apple Music. This is great there are absolutely bands that I won't listen to on sunny days and music that doesn't make sense for cloudy days. Idk maybe I'm weird
I think this is super cool! I love using Spotify to discover new music and the weather can have a huge influence on the genres of music I listen to day-to-day so this seems right up my alley.
How does this affect each listener though? Will we get weather-related playlists depending on the weather now? Or are we stuck with these generic crappy ones?
