A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the trial. "We're currently testing greetings that let you know about notable changes in the weather in your area," he said. "These greetings appear at the top of News Feed and include helpful weather information, such as if there's been a change in the temperature, when rain or snow is on the way, or if the sun is expected to come out after a few days in hiding."
