How to Disable Google Weather Notifications on Android in 2026

Google Weather notifications on Android include the daily morning forecast, the precipitation alerts, the severe weather warnings, plus the at-a-glance lock screen weather strip on Pixel devices. The notifications are useful in moderation and annoying when they overlap with other weather apps or your phone’s own emergency alerts. By 2026 the controls are split across two settings panels, the Google app for the notification source and Android system settings for the per-notification toggles.

This guide covers the current 2026 settings paths on Pixel and Samsung phones, the related toggles for severe weather alerts, and the smart-home and Google Assistant weather notifications that share the same general category but live in different settings panels.

Where Google Weather notifications originate

Google Weather notifications come from three different sources, the Google app for daily morning forecasts and precipitation alerts, the Android system Wireless Emergency Alerts for severe weather warnings issued by national meteorological services, and the Pixel-specific at-a-glance weather strip on the lock screen. Each has separate controls because each source is technically a different notification channel under the hood.

Confusion often comes from changing one toggle and being surprised that weather notifications still appear, because the disabled one was a different channel than the surviving one. The fix is to know which source you want to disable, then go to the matching settings panel.

Disabling the daily forecast and precipitation notifications

Open the Google app on your Android phone. Tap your profile picture in the top right. Tap Settings. Tap Notifications. Find the Weather section. Toggle off the Weather notifications switch. This disables the daily morning forecast and the routine precipitation alerts from the Google app.

On Pixel devices, the same setting also appears in Settings, Apps, Google app, Notifications, where you can disable individual notification channels. Tap any specific channel to set its priority to silent or to disable it entirely. This gives you finer control than the single switch in the Google app settings.

Severe weather alerts are separate

Severe weather alerts, including tornado, hurricane, flash flood, and similar warnings issued by national meteorological services, come through the Wireless Emergency Alerts system, not through the Google app. These are designed to override Do Not Disturb and most user-level notification controls because they involve life-safety issues.

To disable Wireless Emergency Alerts, open Settings, Notifications, Advanced settings, Wireless Emergency Alerts. Toggle off the specific alert categories you do not want. Most people should keep severe and extreme threats enabled, because those override the silent ringer specifically for warnings that matter. The Amber Alert and public safety toggles are common ones to consider disabling.

Pixel at-a-glance weather strip

Pixel phones from the Pixel 6 onward show a small weather strip on the lock screen and home screen, with current temperature and conditions, plus light precipitation icons during rain or snow events. This is not a notification but a system widget controlled separately. Long press the at-a-glance widget on the home screen, tap Customize, toggle off the weather components you do not want.

On the lock screen specifically, the at-a-glance weather is controlled by Settings, Display, Lock screen, At a glance, where you can disable the weather component independently of the home screen. This lets you keep weather on the home screen while removing it from the lock screen, or vice versa.

Samsung weather notifications follow a different path

Galaxy S24 and S25 use Samsung Weather, not Google Weather, for the built-in weather widget and notifications. To disable Samsung Weather notifications, open Settings, Apps, Weather, Notifications, toggle off the categories you do not want. The toggles are split into Daily forecast, Severe weather, and Tips and offers, each independently controlled.

If you also use the Google app on a Samsung phone, you may receive both Samsung Weather and Google Weather notifications. To stop the Google Weather ones, disable them in the Google app settings as covered earlier. Disabling Samsung Weather notifications does not affect Google Weather notifications because they are separate apps.

FAQ

Bottom line

Google Weather notifications on Android in 2026 come from multiple sources, the Google app for daily forecasts, Wireless Emergency Alerts for severe weather, the at-a-glance widget for the Pixel home and lock screen. Each has its own settings path. The single Weather notifications toggle in the Google app handles most of what people want to disable. For severe weather and the Pixel widget, go to the matching settings panels. Five minutes of setup covers the case completely.
