Pixel Weather update makes it easier to change units of measurement

7 hours ago 4

Google is rolling out a new update to the Pixel Weather app which makes it considerably easier to change the units of measurement throughout the app. Here’s what’s new.

Having debuted on the Pixel 9 series and since expanded to older models, there haven’t been any major updates to Google’s new Pixel Weather app to date. The last notable update rolled out in November with pollen counts and support for “immersive vibrations.”

Now, version 1.0.20250106 is rolling out with a helpful change.

The ability to adjust measurements is useful for any weather app, but the Pixel Weather app didn’t make it particularly easy. A “Weather units” pop-up required used to either update their system language or adjust their “Regional preferences.” Both settings would have impacts beyond just the Pixel Weather app.

In this latest update, Google has adjusted this to allow for more granularity. Newly added “Temperature” and “Weather units” sections in Pixel Weather’s settings menu allow for changes for each unit of measurement. These include:

Precipitation: Inches, Centimeters, Millimeters
Wind Speed: Meters per second, Kilometers per second, Miles per hour, Knots
Barometric Pressure: Hectopascals, Millibars, Millimeters of mercury, Inches of mercury
Visibility: Meters/kilometers, Feet/miles

Changing these will have no impact on other apps. Adjusting the measurement of temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius, though, will still require changing your “regional preferences.”
