New days and new year in this 2016 that we enter very quickly and in which the day of kings almost gives us the step to this weekend that will allow us to relax a little from those days of dinners, meals, gifts and others cast of Christmas varieties. Well, there are those sales, although you can literally go through them to relax materially and focus a bit on ourselves and lose that extra weight that we would have taken. The best thing about these days is that the rain seems to accompany us so it may come in handy if we install an app called Weather Underground, which is one of the best for knowing the weather forecast.
Something closely related to one of the biggest news concerning the great change that Google is carrying out with the weather forecast card on Google Now. A card that has really always been sparing in visual details and that now incorporates its own application to integrate views for today, tomorrow and the next 10 days. It does this even with a visual improvement in full color and in which a new character appears in green as a kind of little frog that will give it a lifetime on each of the "postcards" that will indicate the weather. Quite a great renovation for the time from Google Now for this new year 2016.
Full color
A card of the time that in most of it was white with some text in gray and which was accompanied by some shades of gray, yellow and blue to indicate, in a somewhat bland way, the weather forecast for the following days.
It should be mentioned that this new Google weather card is in the testing phase, so there may be new changes that modify it as it is right now thanks to those shared images. What is clear is that Google is fully modifying it, both in its new look and in functionalities to turn it into an entire app and thus give up wanting to install apps like the one mentioned. Weather Underground.
The card now expands to fill the entire screen space and it becomes an app in itself. The three most important tabs are those of today, tomorrow and the next few days.
An app in itself
Unlike the old card and, for now, current for many, the new one seems to has color based on time of day and in the atmospheric conditions of that instant. If we have been used to flat colors, those gradients begin to indicate the steps towards other destinations as far as design is concerned. So now you can enjoy some novelty or another, which could soon be the advancement for the new Material Design. Matias Duarte, in charge of these Android design issues, already commented that not everything would be left here, but that new evolutions would be seen.
The "Today" view also contains some very nice graphics Depending on the weather conditions and in which we see the nice little frog that seems to enjoy the beach and other environments in which we will see it participate in a very pleasant way. Everything seems to indicate that it is now, when Google has established some very remarkable design foundations, when it can come up with the details to entice more users to approach this operating system for mobile devices.
Today's card also provides the user with other types of information that are quite necessary, such as the air quality, sunrise and sunset times and some messages related to health. And, at the moment it is not available to everyone, since only some users have been able to appreciate it on their devices. Now there is only hope that it will become a global deployment and we will see the little frog inform us of what is happening from the skies for the next few days.
I think it's a very good change, I just hope it also improves accuracy and coverage in all countries and cities, good article!
