Tomorrow: A New Weather Platform by Twitter

Twitter is developing an interactive weather service. It will alert users to any local storms or precipitation that is trending. The “Tomorrow” program launched this Tuesday. It is a collaboration with climate journalist and meteorologist Eric Holthaus. It connects consumers to hyper-local specialists in more than a dozen places throughout the country.

Containing both free and paid content for subscribers, at $10 per month, users will also receive a nightly email with the expected upcoming weather. In addition to the forecast, emails will also contain “a news story, a poem, a meme, a short video, or a call to action.”

Expanding List of Archaeological Discoveries in Egypt

The nation is expecting that visitors would find this type of open-air tourism appealing after COVID-19. Egypt is currently accessible to non-essential travel.

Separate Terminal For Tourists From Red List Countries in London’s Heathrow Airport

The United Kingdom introduced a traffic light system for foreign travel last month, dividing nations into three groups based on COVID-19 risk ratings.

“Red-list” travelers have been utilizing the same terminals and airport facilities as other travelers since February’s adoption of enforced hotel quarantines, although in separate lines. This week, though, things changed. Terminal 3, which closed in April 2020 owing to a low volume of international arrivals, will now be used only for travelers arriving from high-risk nations.
