Google has updated Google Maps with a weather layer that provides users with current weather conditions and five day forecasts for locales all around the world.
Maps users who enable the new weather layer -- accessible from the upper right corner of Google Maps -- will see weather temperatures and conditions, as denoted by cloud and rain icons, when zoomed out. Users can zoom in or click on a weather icon to get a more detailed report for a specific area.
Google Maps' weather reports are sourced from weather.com, and the U.S. Naval Research Lab is powering the feature that shows cloud coverage on the map.
