However, the report claims that the company is now adding AI-generated text summaries of weather in specific cities. This text summary reportedly appears between the hourly and 10-day forecast infographics. Based on the example shared by the publication, the summary includes information such as wind formations, pressure systems, rain and thunderstorm possibilities, as well as temperature rise and drop patterns.

The summary is followed by a URL icon, tapping which opens a list of websites users can check to get more details, as per the report.

is also said to be displaying a message underneath the summary which says, “Generative AI is experimental.”

This AI-generated summary is reportedly only appearing for certain cities. The publication found it working for “weather Los Angeles” and “weather San Diego,” while other cities did not show it. Gadgets 360 staff members were not able to see the AI summary for the mentioned cities, which means that access to the feature is likely limited to some users in the US. It is unclear when the company might release it widely.

Notably, the report claimed that the feature can currently only be seen in the
