Facebook's Events pages will now include
weather forecasts as well. The update, once a project that was part of a
hackathon, has been rolled out to both the mobile and desktop version
of Facebook.
Users can check out the weather if the
event is slated to take place within next 10 days. The forecast appears
right below the “When” section when you create a Facebook event. The
weather predictions also include the highest and lowest temperatures of
the day. The weather update to Events is likely
to aid users while planning their events, especially for the outdoor
events. The data for weather forecasts is provided by Weather
Underground.
Facebook has recently rolled out a number of changes to its platform in the past month. It overhauled the News Feed
with a focus on minimalism in design, and greater visibility for shared
media – photos and videos. The company also updated its Timeline with a cleaner layout and more streamlined content.
