Google Maps for Android Adding Real-Time Weather Info to Catch Up to iOS App

Google Maps for Android will soon show real-time local weather information, a feature iOS has had for years.

The new weather feature will display air quality and hourly forecasts for a location.

Google is updating weather info across its apps, like the Pixel weather redesign and rumored standalone weather app.

Quick access to weather data can help people avoid severe conditions when traveling.

The rollout shows Google still needs to work on launching features evenly across Android and iOS.
