With your Google Nest or Home speaker or display, you can listen to the current weather and upcoming forecast for your location using only your voice.

Step 2. Ask for weather information

Here are some ways to talk with your Google Assistant on your speaker or display about weather and forecasts:

To do this: Say "Hey Google," then:
Ask for current weather

"What's the weather?"

Ask for weather forecast for:
  • Tomorrow
  • Specific day
  • Weekend
  • Week
  • Next xx days (choose up to 10 days)

"What's the weather tomorrow, specific day, weekend, for the next 4 days?"
"What will the weather be like between <day> and <day>?"

Note: This command will provide weather information for your device home address.
Ask specific questions about weather or forecast

"Is it going to rain tomorrow?"
"Is it sunny today?"
"Will I need an umbrella tomorrow?"

Note: This command will provide weather information for your device home address.

Ask specific question about weather or forecast in a certain location for:

  • Tomorrow
  • Specific day
  • Weekend
  • Week
  • Next xx days (choose between 1-10 days)

"Will it rain tomorrow in London?"
"What's the weather this weekend in Mountain View?"
Ask for general weather in a certain location "What's the weather in London?"
Specify unit "What's the weather in Celsius?"

If you'd like to receive weather forecasts for places of interest outside of your device address, set up Voice Match and personal results. You'll get updates for meaningful changes in the weather like forecast swings for high winds, rain, or snow at places you may be interested in visiting in the next few hours.
