Google is piloting a new feature that integrates AI-generated weather summaries directly into mobile search results for select U.S. cities.
This latest addition appears between the hourly and 10-day forecast sections, offering concise textual overviews of current weather conditions.
These summaries encompass details such as wind patterns, precipitation chances, and temperature fluctuations.
A link icon within the summary directs users to external articles that Google references to compile the information.
A disclaimer stating "Generative AI is experimental" accompanies the feature, underscoring its trial status.
Currently, this feature is accessible only through the Google app on Android and iOS devices and is not available on desktop platforms.
Google has not officially announced plans for a broader rollout or expansion to other regions, including Pakistan.
This initiative is part of Google's broader strategy to incorporate generative AI into its services, aiming to provide users with more contextual and user-friendly information.
