The redesigned Google Weather app on Android devices is currently down this afternoon (PT), causing inconvenience to users. While this is not a frequent issue, it is affecting all Android devices, including Pixel and Samsung phones running on Android 14 and 15.

Users attempting to access the Google Weather app are greeted with a “Something went wrong” message, and the “Try again” button fails to reload the app. Additionally, Pixel phone and Tablet owners are seeing a “Can’t show weather” message on widgets, with outdated data displayed on the At a Glance widget.

Widespread Impact

Furthermore, the weather information is missing from Google Discover’s “Your space” carousel and Google Maps. However, the weather integration in Google Clock on Pixel devices seems to be functioning properly.

Alternative Solutions

Despite the outage, users can still access weather information by typing “weather” into Google Search, using the Wear OS Weather app, or asking Gemini or Google Assistant for updates. Fortunately, there are no reported issues on Nest Hubs at this time.

As the outage continues, users are encouraged to explore these alternative methods to stay updated with the latest weather information. The tech giant has yet to release an official statement regarding the cause of the outage or an estimated time for resolution. In the meantime, Android users are left navigating through these temporary solutions to keep their daily routines unaffected.

The incident serves as a reminder of our reliance on smartphone applications and how integral they have become in our day-to-day lives. As we await further updates from Google, it’s clear that even minor disruptions can have a significant impact on user experience.
