I moved the UV index, humidity, sunrise\/sunset, and wind conditions as high as they could go on my setup. It&#8217;s a trade-off, because the Weather app&#8217;s data widgets are so big as to require scrolling to get the full picture of a day, and you can&#8217;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&#8217;s handy.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, if you&#8217;re an allergy sufferer and you&#8217;re not in the UK, Germany, France, or Italy, Google can&#8217;t offer you any pollen data or forecasts.

Users are miffed that they can&#8217;t see a location&#8217;s weather without adding it to their saved locations list; that other Google apps, including the &#8220;At a Glance&#8221; app on every Pixel&#8217;s default launcher, send you to the Google app&#8217;s summary instead of this app; the look of the weather map; and, most of all, that it does not show up in some phones&#8217; app list, but only as a widget.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2024\/10\/pixel-phones-are-getting-an-actual-weather-app-in-2024-with-a-bit-of-ai\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customizable, but also not There&#8217;s a prominent &#8220;AI generated weather report&#8221; on top of the weather stack, which is a combination of summary and familiarity. &#8220;Cold and rainy day, bring &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=120648\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8630],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=120648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120648\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=120648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=120648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=120648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
