+<a href="https://weather.torproject.org/">Tor weather</a> is a tool
+that allows signing up to receive notifications via email when the
+tracked Tor relay is down. Currently, it isn't really useful for
+people who use the hibernation feature of Tor, or for those who
+have to shut down their relay regularly. During the project, Tor
+weather could be extended to allow more flexible configuarions.
+Other enhancements are also possible: Weather could send out warnings
+when your relay runs an out-of-date version of Tor, or when it's
+observed bandwith drops below a certain value. It might also be a
+nice tool that allows for checking whether your relay has earned
+you a T-Shirt, or sending reminders to directory authorities that
+their keys are about to expire. Be creative, and check how the
+project to track overall network status can help you get your job
+done more quickly!
