In order
to activate the ‘weather layer’ you need to select ‘weather’ from the drop down
in the top right hand corner of the maps.
Google will only show the weather
when you are zoomed out, this way it can display images of clouds, rain, the
sun etc. for all major towns in the view. The forecasts come from weather.com
and the cloud coverage, which is denoted by the white layer over the map, is
provided by the U.S. Naval Research Lab.
For a more detailed forecast you can
click on the weather icon for any city and see the temperature, humidity and
wind for the next four days. Clicking on the ‘Hourly’ and ’10 Day’ links will
open up the full weather.com forecast in a new tab. You can also tell if it's
currently day or night in places by sun and moon icons.
