Google Search is expanding the convenience of its mobile weather card by adding air quality information. This will permit you to see both the temperature and air quality at a glance while they search for weather.
Google Search is offering a new facility called air quality information, which will provide the temperature and air quality detailed information, for instance, good, moderate, or unhealthy, at a glance while they search for weather. Currently, when you open the “Weather” app on your smartphone, you get the Weather Frog.
This top card already notes the real-time temperature, condition, precipitation, humidity, and wind. Now that will be joined by “air quality” at the bottom, coupled with a status and matching color. However, you will no longer be able to tap to learn more and see the actual AQI numbers unless you do a full search for “air quality” along with a map. To learn more and see the actual AQI number, you must do a full search.
Google is making this facility available in the Google application for both Android and iOS, as well as on the mobile web. Noticeably, it doesn’t appear on desktop search, which has a different, non-froggy design. Google has already surfaced AQI in the “your space” carousel housed at the top of the Discover on Google app and some Android home screens, the corner weather card in Google Maps, and the At a Glance widget. This update adds air quality to another location: the mobile weather search results.
Despite Google showing air quality in a few places, such as Maps and Discover, it still lacks the full-screen weather view on Android smartphones. A few users are demanding a dedicated weather app for Android that could provide more convenient features, including additional widgets and weather radar.
