  1. Google Weather forecast is no more. Please help me restore Google Weather forecast. Please note. If you can suggest another forum to post this question, please tell me. I've tried repeatedly Android Central forum, but cannot post (says spam).
    I am not using a Google Weather app or widget.
    I am using a Android 5 (the phone I have cell service) and Android 11 ( wifi only) phone and cannot install any such app or widget. I don't want any app or widget. I simply want to type in the Google search , for example, "Columbus Ohio weather", and see the Google Weather forecast, like for many years in the past. I don't want to use another weather source, for example weather.com because with Google Weather I can see everything I want with one click and no need for scrolling. Google Weather forecast is more accurate than weather.com. I have tried everything, installing the latest browsers that will go on the Android 5 phone - Google Chrome, Firefox, Kiwi. I have tried clearing browsers and phone cache. Also tried "request desktop version". I also have Android 12 (wifi) and Windows 7 and still have the traditional Google Weather (thank God). Question: is there an app I can put on my Android 5 phone to make Google think I am on Windows? Then I think I will be able to access Google weather forecast. Please look at the following two screenshots. First screenshot (Android 5) is Google Weather with forecast gone. Only the current temperature is shown. Almost useless to me.
    Second screenshot is the traditional Google Weather, (Android 12) very, very useful to me.
    Also look at graph showing temperature change throughout the day. Extremely convenient. I can see what I want to know in less than a second.

    I also have an Android phone, with the US version of Android 11 installed. If I type "google weather columbus ohio" onto the Google search box, I see the weather for Columbus Ohio.

    If I just type "google weather" into the Google search box, a page showing the weather forecast for my home address's zip code appears.

    Google's weather search seems to be almost idiot-proof. Are you perhaps using a bootleg version of Android on a cheap knock-off phone?

    [Edit]I forgot to mention that my phone was set up to use my home wifi for calling and data when I tested Google weather. My mobile phone is nothing fancy. It is a 2021 Motorola, which cost under $200 when new.
