With the arrival of the Coolwalk interface, Google has eliminated the time in Android Auto, leaving in its place an icon in the menu that is essentially quick access to Google Assistant to solve this problem out loud, which seems to us insufficient and could clearly be improved. . While it works on its return, perhaps integrating it into Google Maps itself as it is already being rolled out through its app, we have to resort to what we already have, i.e. say Third-party weather apps compatible with Android Auto and some resources other apps that help in bad weather.

Weather and radar for forecasts
After having tested it thoroughly, Time and Radar is the weather app I like the most on Android Autoeven though I already told you that it is a rare category.
Among the reasons that pushed us to adopt it (beyond the limited offer), there is the fact that it is free, intuitive and extremely visual to be able to check the weather in real time.
The good thing is not so much that you see what’s happening with the classic sun or cloud icons, it’s that it shows you what will happen in the next few hours and with a simple glance you can locate, for example, whether it is raining nearby and whether it is light rain or torrential rain thanks to its color code. You can also choose layers and zoom in on your route to highlight what interests you.
Weather and radar
Your time at a glance! The Weather & Radar application offers you 90-minute hourly forecasts, today’s and tomorrow’s weather, 7 and 14 days in Europe and anywhere in the world.
Waze also for bad weather
Just as Google Maps will likely soon be updated over time, allowing us to have an idea of what we will face on the course, the Waze navigator has a very useful bad weather warning function for those who will cross this certain area in the next few hours, this is the bad weather warning.
To give a bad weather warning, simply press the bubble button in the lower right corner (we’ve marked it in orange in the photo you see above these lines) and select the bad weather. Here you will find more specific warnings due to bad weather, such as slippery road, flood, icy road or fog.
