Overview

  • The feature is live in California and triggers when users search “weather [city]” in the Google app or mobile web while signed into their accounts.
  • The AI-generated summaries slot between the hourly overview and 10-day forecast and expand to reveal full details with a tap.
  • Each summary carries a “Generative AI is experimental” label and links back to the original weather reports for user verification.
  • Desktop searches and users not signed in do not yet see the AI-generated weather summaries.
  • This rollout follows DeepMind’s 2024 GenCast model, which outperformed leading forecasting systems in accuracy.
