When you search for “weather” on mobile, Google might show generative AI summaries for local conditions.
Google is showing this new card between the hourly and 10-day forecasts. By default, you get two lines of text before needing to tap and expand. Like other similar experiences, Google notes how “Generative AI is experimental” at the bottom.
Southern California mountain and foothills areas face gusty winds and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon. A low-pressure system is bringing thunderstorms, dry lightning, and rip currents to the coast. Strong winds could knock down tree limbs, and dry lightning poses a wildfire risk. The weather should improve by Wednesday, with a warming trend expected by the weekend.
Tapping the link icon at the end brings up a sheet with articles about weather in your area that Google presumably used to create the AI Overviews-like summary.
As such, this differs from the AI Weather Report on the Pixel 9, with the Google Search experience making for a more descriptive read that explains the underlying conditions.
We’re seeing this with the search terms: “weather Los Angeles” and “weather San Diego.” This experience looks limited to Southern California, with other cities in the state (like San Francisco) not returning this AI weather summary. As such, this is most likely still in the testing phase.
So far, this is appearing just in the Google app and mobile web on a handful of signed-in accounts (one has the “AI Overviews and more” Search Lab enabled and the other doesn’t). It does not appear when logged out or on desktop web.
This is only appearing in Google Search results and not the app-like “Google Weather” that opens a fullscreen experience.
