Spotify has creeped you hard and knows you listen to Bittersweet Symphony when it's raining

Spotify x AccuWeather have launched Climatune, a site that creates playlists based on weather and listening data. And as a pure sucker for name mash ups and candy cute app interfaces, Climatune punches hard.

The site is a collaborative result of a year long research study that looked at the impact weather has on the music people listen to. Results found that snowy days encourage more instrumental music; sunny days typically encourage listening to happier and higher-energy music; and rainy days bring lower-energy, sadder-sounding music with more acoustic vs. electronic sounds. Spotify data researcher Ian Anderson says there is a clear connection between what's in the skies and what's on users' play queues.

If Melbourne weather is anything to base a playlist on, I might be in for some majorly erratic music mixes. Find your own weather mood here: weather.withspotify.com

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we stand and graciously breathe. I pay my respects to all Indigenous Elders past and present. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, mother earth of First Nations.
