This update is rolling out on Google’s end, so you may have to wait for it to show up. If you haven’t tried out the weather experience, type out “weather” into the Google search bar or use a voice command. You then pin a shortcut to your homescreen that will launch this directly.
The impact on you: There are plenty of good weather apps for Android, but it’s hard to go wrong with what Google has built.

Now if only Google would make a good widget (with clock) for this excellent weather tool!
