Google widely rolling out Pixel Weather to 6-8a

As announced with the October 2024 (Feature) Drop, Pixel Weather is now available for the Pixel 6 and newer. 

Pixel Weather is rolling out as a new version of the com.google.android.apps.weather background service that’s already on your device and powers the existing temperature feature for cities in Google Clock. Just tap “Update” in the Google Play Store.

After installing version 1.0.20240910.x, you’ll get a “Weather” icon in the app grid. If you sign-in with your Google Account, saved locations will sync across devices. Selecting a city shows a local background that reflects the current condition.

Hold down on a card to move the weather block, with everything except for Hourly forecast rearrangeable. Customizations are unique to each saved city, while there’s a two-column layout on tablets and foldables. Available data includes: Precipitation, Wind, Sunrise & sunset, UV index, Air quality, Visibility, Humidity, and Pressure.

The Weather map shows a 6-hour precipitation forecast and is available in the US, UK and most European countries, except Italy and Luxembourg. It’s powered by Google nowcasting.

Tap your avatar in the top-right corner to change Weather units, Theme, and access Settings. You can have tomorrow’s weather forecast for your current location delivered every evening and set precipitation notifications by city.

Also new is pollen count, but only in the UK, Germany, France, and Italy.
