Google is expected to launch a new weather app alongside the Pixel 9 — but you don’t have to wait to try it out. As highlighted by 9to5Google and Android Authority, the Weather app is now on APKMirror, where you can sideload it on devices running Android 14 or newer.
Based on some of the screenshots posted online, it looks like the Pixel Weather app will offer a clean look at your hourly and 10-day forecast, along with other handy measurements like wind speed, visibility, humidity, air pressure, and more. You can rearrange each tile in the app except for the 10-day forecast, according to 9to5Google.
Additionally, code uncovered by 9to5Google suggests the app will support notifications alerting you of incoming rain or snow. That could help fill the void of Dark Sky’s beloved notifications after that app was acquired by Apple a few years ago.
The Pixel Weather app available on APKMirror apparently isn’t the final version of the app, so you might encounter some bugs. Until now, Pixel devices didn’t have a default weather app and only featured Google’s weather widgets. While Google rolled out a weather feature within the Pixel’s Clock app last year, Pixel Weather is a standalone app that seems to offer a more detailed look at the forecast.
