If Pixel Weather says it is sunny and you are standing in rain, you may soon be able to tell Google. A new build of the app adds a card for reporting what the weather is really doing where you are.
Scroll to the bottom of the details page for the place you are in and the new card, Report current weather, is there, asking you to help improve local forecasts. A Submit a report button opens a sheet that repeats what the app is showing, so you know exactly what you are disputing.
Android Authority went through the app’s code and found the feature in version 1.1.20261012. It also warns that this is work-in-progress code and may never ship, and that the team found no sign yet of how Google will use the reports.
The sheet has two parts. Under Current temperature you choose Warmer, Colder or Seems accurate. A second list describes the sky outside, and it is long enough to cover a storm or a foggy morning.
The privacy note says Google collects the report, the phone’s location and some diagnostic information, and that none of it is tied to your Google account. The report screen also shows the temperature and conditions the app currently displays, so each submission is a direct correction of a specific reading.
Users have complained about wrong readings in Pixel Weather for some time. The app, exclusive to Pixel phones, already offers drag-and-drop data blocks, AI weather summaries, a precipitation map and severe weather warnings, according to its Play listing.
Android Authority saw the card working on a couple of Pixel phones it had on hand. The new Pixel Weather bundle can be sideloaded from APKMirror by anyone who wants to try the card before it reaches them through the Play Store.
What happens to a report after it is sent is the open question: how many people would have to agree before the forecast for your area moves, and whether Google has announced a rollout date at all. A visible change in a forecast after a rain-day complaint would be the first sign it works, and the first build to carry the card is the one to watch.
