The new feature also tells you if it is day or night in that place via sun and moon icons. Google hopes the weather information layer help in making travel and activity planning more convenient. Apart from the current temperature, you will now be provided with detailed data such as current humidity, wind conditions and even weather prediction for the next four days.
You can also change the units of wind speed (Mph/KMph/Mps) and temperature (F/C), and enable or disable the clouds.
