Google’s improved Weather UI starts to roll out on non-Pixel phones

Google's weather UI underwent a significant design change in October, giving Pixel phone users a simpler, simpler look at the weather. And now the tweaked design is finally coming to devices beyond the almighty Pixel.

The redesigned appearance allows users to easily view three different weather options, get today's or tomorrow's forecast, or see a complete 10-day weather outlook. While these options were available with the old design, users had to switch tabs to access the different options. All they have to do is scroll down to get an in-depth look at the weather, including humidity levels, wind speed, pressure and UV index.

As expected, the redesigned look and feel of Google's weather UI has become available on the company's devices for the first time. As 9to5Google However, although very slowly, the new updated weather is coming to other devices, with Samsung phones being among the first in line. Apparently, the new design is expected to roll out to other Android devices at some point. Hopefully, users might see the new UI on their Android phones by the end of the year! Technically, Weather UI is not an app. It is integrated with the Google Search application to Android Phones. To access it, users must type “weather” into their search bar. The tool, which increasingly resembles an app, continues to rely on Google Nowcast and other data sources for its weather forecasts.

Over the past few months, Google has invested heavily in making weather easier. In addition to changing the look of its weather UI, the company introduced a powerful new forecasting model via a report published in Science last month. Called GraphCast, the model leverages AI (what a surprise) to create highly accurate 10-day weather forecasts in less than a minute. This forecast model adds to the company's impressive suite of weather forecasting systems.
