The redesigned Google Weather app on Android is down this afternoon (PT). This has happened before but it’s far from a common occurrence.
Expand Expanding CloseAfter initially appearing for some in February, the new set of Google Weather icons are now widely available in At a Glance and the Pixel Weather widgets.
Expand Expanding CloseGoogle already surfaces air quality in a number of ways, and it’s now being added to the Weather card in Search results.
Expand Expanding CloseBack in December, Google started rolling out a dedicated “Weather” icon that appeared in the app grid on Pixel phones and tablets. In recent days, this shortcut has been removed.
Expand Expanding CloseOver the course of 2023, Google launched a new Weather app on Pixel phones with a nice new design and some additional features. After extending past Pixel in small tests last year, Google seems to now be making the redesigned Google Weather app widely available on Android.
Expand Expanding CloseTo coincide with the Android 12 push and Material You, Google introduced a pair of weather widgets for Pixel in 2021. With the Android 15 Beta, the exclusive Pixel nature of these weather widgets has been enshrined.
Expand Expanding CloseThe new Google Weather app made its debut last year on Pixel phones with a wonderful new design, and now the icons from that revamp seem to be coming to At a Glance and weather widgets.
Expand Expanding CloseGoogle Weather rolled out to all Pixel phones in October, and the redesign is now appearing on Samsung and other Android devices.
Expand Expanding CloseThe redesigned Weather experience that’s currently exclusive to Google devices is quite nice, but should really be its own app. Google is slowly getting there by adding a dedicated “Weather” shortcut that appears like any other app on Pixel.
Expand Expanding CloseGoogle did a pretty good job redesigning the Weather experience on Android. It’s modern and has a straightforward layout that shows what’s coming up in the next few hours and days all on one screen.
Expand Expanding CloseBesides a redesign, the most interesting part of the updated Weather experience for Pixel is “Google Nowcast” for real-time 12-hour precipitation forecasts. Google today detailed the MetNet-3 deep learning model behind it, which is also powering weather features in Google Search.
Expand Expanding CloseGoogle Clock 7.6 fully rolled out with Pixel Watch alarm sync this week, and now the weather integration is seeing wider — but not full — availability on the Pixel 8 series and Android 14 QPR1.
Expand Expanding CloseWith the Pixel Tablet and Fold, Google introduced a redesign of the Weather app, and other phones are now beginning to see it.
Expand Expanding CloseWith Android 14 QPR1 Beta 2, a Google Weather experience is now integrated with the Google Clock app.
Expand Expanding CloseGoogle Weather is due for a big upgrade on Android that brings a Material You redesign and Nowcast. Until it drops Pixel Tablet and Fold exclusivity, Google is also updating other parts of the experience and crowdsourcing weather conditions.
Expand Expanding CloseThe launch of the Pixel Tablet and Fold also brings a Material You redesign of Google Weather. This revamp, which will later come to other devices, features “Google Nowcast” for more accurate rain, hail, and snow predictions.
Expand Expanding CloseAs teased at I/O 2023 last month, Google Weather is getting a Material You redesign, and it’s appearing first on the Pixel Tablet.
Expand Expanding CloseWe already know what the new Google Weather will look like on phones, tablets, and foldables, and now we’re learning that it should be a standalone app.
Expand Expanding CloseWe’ve been tracking the new Google Weather for the past two weeks, and our best look at the redesign is on a Pixel Fold.
Expand Expanding CloseIn announcing the Pixel Tablet and Fold, Google emphasized that over 50 of its apps have been updated for large screens. Many of the tablet redesigns have already rolled out, with a few more coming to benefit Google Calendar, Weather, and the Play Store.
Expand Expanding CloseAndroid’s Weather experience in 2021 got a Google Material Theme redesign just as Material You was widely rolling out to other first-party apps. Google Weather is now set for a redesign with Material You elements.

Expand Expanding CloseWhile Google’s Wear OS 3 weather experience is quite nice, the Android “app” is a bit more barebones and getting long in the tooth. Google Weather is now seeing a dark theme, but this might be an accident.
Expand Expanding CloseFollowing the new app and Sun tile for Wear OS 3, Google has rolled out a redesign of the weather card available in Search on the mobile web.
