Google is rolling out a dedicated weather app on Pixel phones (model 6 and newer with Android 15) that integrates AI-generated summaries and customizable widgets. Ars Technica reports: There’s a prominent “AI generated weather report” on top of the weather stack, which is a combination of summary and familiarity. “Cold and rainy day, bring your umbrella and hold onto your hat!” is Google’s example; I can’t provide another one, because an update to “Gemini Nano” is pending. You can see weather radar for your location, along with forecasted precipitation movement. The app offers “Nowcasting” precipitation guesses, like “Rain continuing for 2 hours” or “Light rain in 10 minutes.”
The best feature, one seen on the version of Weather that shipped to the Pixel Tablet and Fold, is that you can rearrange the order of data shown on your weather screen. I moved the UV index, humidity, sunrise/sunset, and wind conditions as high as they could go on my setup. It’s a trade-off, because the Weather app’s data widgets are so big as to require scrolling to get the full picture of a day, and you can’t move the AI summary or 10-day forecast off the top. But if you only need a few numbers and like a verbal summary, it’s handy. Sadly, if you’re an allergy sufferer and you’re not in the UK, Germany, France, or Italy, Google can’t offer you any pollen data or forecasts. There is also, I am sad to say, no frog. You can download the app here.
