This post should still be useful to people, as all the old icons are listed towards the end of it. Also, it still lists all the possible named (English) conditions – which I imagine, will never change. As I mentioned in the comments, users of the Google Weather API should bear in mind that it’s never officially been released to developers, so could be gone at any time (although I doubt it).

I was doing a web design earlier that required use of the Google Weather API. I was originally using the weather icons and replacing them with my own, but it seems Google changed their icons today! They changed all the image names so I needed a new tactic.

I had a good ol’ search and eventually found a list of all the possible weather conditions. I imagine these are unlikely to change, but who knows! Here you go:

  • Partly Sunny
  • Scattered Thunderstorms
  • Showers
  • Scattered Showers
  • Rain and Snow
  • Overcast
  • Light Snow
  • Freezing Drizzle
  • Chance of Rain
  • Sunny
  • Clear
  • Mostly Sunny
  • Partly Cloudy
  • Mostly Cloudy
  • Chance of Storm
  • Rain
  • Chance of Snow
  • Cloudy
  • Mist
  • Storm
  • Thunderstorm
  • Chance of TStorm
  • Sleet
  • Snow
  • Icy
  • Dust
  • Fog
  • Smoke
  • Haze
  • Flurries
  • Light Rain
  • Snow Showers
  • Hail

Hope you find this useful!
