Get Weather Reports Alongwith Google Maps

I am sure when you visit a new city or
a try to look for directions before
visiting an unfamiliar place, you look
up Google Maps. Now there is a new
added layer on Google Maps which
will allow people to see how the weather is in a particular place. If you are looking at cities on a map,
all you have to do is hover the mouse
over to the top right hand corner of
the map and we see a new ‘weather’
option added. Clicking on it adds a weather layer on
the maps showing users the
temperatures and weather conditions. Another feature is if you zoom into a
city, Google Maps also shows a 5 day
weather forecast of that city on the left
hand panel. Here is a video that explains the
workings of Google Maps Weather
feature. How Google manages to show
‘weather’ results? Google is collaborating with weather.com, a website which shows weather forecasts. The new layer on
Google Maps takes data from this
website for its weather predictions. I guess this new addition on Google
Maps makes sense, considering so
many people plan their trips with
Google Maps. What are your views? Do
