New Google Weather OneBox for Desktop

Google updated the weather OneBox from the desktop search interface to match the tablet interface. The new OneBox is huge, it includes more information and it's more interactive. While the old OneBox only displayed the weather forecast for 4 days, the new one has an hourly and an 8-day forecast for temperature, precipitation and wind.


Here's the old interface (I've managed to take this screenshot by pretending I'm using IE7 and changing the user-agent):



It's interesting that many search features are first added to the mobile/tablet interface and a few months later to the desktop UI.

  1. if only it wouldn't be so unprecise in its predictions for certain areas. There should be some possibility for local weather stations to contribute with their data..
