Google is taking yet another step into the realm of
mobile web pages as apps with the introduction
of some nifty new features for their weather
results. When using a mobile device (English
only, for now), a simple search for “weather” will
now return an interactive set of information on
the days forecast.
The content isn’t new, but the way you access it
has changed for the better. Now a slider lets you
shift through the weather over the next 12 hours,
with information on temperature, wind, and
humidity changing as you move along the day.
Scrolling past the new interactive weather results
brings you to your standard Google search
results.
While apps are experiencing a big boom, the
future is in mobile web pages that leverage
HTML5 and other technologies to create more
app-like experiences. Google senses this and is
making some pretty cool strides in that direction.
