It’s crazy we’ll never have forecasts as good as dark sky again. What kind of magic were they doing?

#32It's great that they're working on this, but I am puzzled at how absolutely awful the forecasts are in the Google weather app for my area. The forecast will show no rain, the radar view shows nothing, meanwhile it's pouring outside and every other app I check shows it. I know I can't expect it to be perfect, but being terribly wrong even one in ten times is enough to tarnish its reputation permanently.
Same experience.
As a former Googler, I wouldn't at all be surprised if this is an integration that is "planned" -- but just not done yet.
And some good handful of people are planning to wring a promo out of work. "Implemented weather UI in Android that is 63% more accurate." ;)

#33Is there a convenient way to use this on iOS? AFAIK Google Search and Maps only show rather basic information.
Last time they have only shipped the model on web in mobile...

The only forecasted rainfall for local areas within a very short timeframe. This made it possible to utilize simple factors to predict the near future.
It is built into Apple Weather after Apple purchased them.

Negative. Clicking on any appearance of "Try WeatherNext 3" brings me to this nonsense: WeatherNext 3 is being integrated into the Google products and tools that billions of people rely on – like Search, Maps, and Gemini. The model is also available for enterprise use, across a range of different applications. Gain access to high-resolution forecasts, without model setup. Including real-time operational data and hist…
You're saying these buttons took you to different pages than what was described? https://i.imgur.com/IVv4y0n.png Keep in mind both button are "the demo". One is for trying out the API yourself, the other is for seeing a pre-made dashboard.
I had a problem, and that problem is resolved. Thank you for all of your kindness and assistance on this matter. My gratitude for your effort extends beyond all imaginable boundaries.

Weather 2 doesn't seem to have been an ensemble model. Weather 3 is, so theoretically it can get more accurate outcomes by taking the probabilistic analysis of several models concurrently to determine the most likely weather conditions.
I'm building a tool right now that uses an ensemble to determine wind gust likelihood, which is useful for safety critical work on construction sites and the like.

I see the same sentiment any time any weather app is posted. Especially when Dark Sky comes up

No worries, glad to help pitch in for all the times someone has helped me find something obviously staring me in the face :). I swear "I can't find my keys"->"they're in your pocket" type things are a mandatory human experience (if given enough time).

It feels like dark sky was more proactive with push notifications
