This eco-friendly search engine wants to tempt you from Google with its new weather skills

Ecosia browser.

Non-profit search engine Ecosia is partnering up with AccuWeather to deliver "hyper-local forecasts" to its users. The goal here is to provide potentially life-saving alerts for weather events as they occur.

It appears the update has already been implemented because if you go to Ecosia and type in your location along with the word “weather” in the search bar, you’ll encounter the revamped tool. The window displays a 'Current Conditions view' complete with humidity levels, AccuWeather’s RealFeel temperature index, and warnings at the bottom. These will tell you if it’s an exceptionally hot day or if the air quality is poor, among other things.
