Android's Google Maps Now Displays Weather Updates

Similar to its iOS counterpart, Google Maps for Android now integrates weather and air quality index (AQI) data directly onto the map interface. A small box situated below the search bar displays the current temperature, along with an icon representing weather conditions and AQI information. Users can tap on this box to access more detailed weather updates, including 'Feels like' temperature, daily high/low temperatures, and a 12-hour forecast. Additionally, tapping on the AQI section provides access to the Air Quality map layer. Although the weather box is relatively small, it updates dynamically as users navigate the map. Notably, this feature has recently been introduced to Android devices, following its prior availability on iOS. Users may need to force stop Google Maps to ensure they have the latest version (11.113.x) and access to this functionality.
