Google Weather Icons

March 13, 2026: The repo has been refactored with a new structure. The old v1–v4 folders have been replaced with sets/set-1 through sets/set-6, organized by visual style rather than arbitrary version numbers. We've also added the new accessibility icon sets (outlined and outlined+gradient styles), dark theme variants, Lottie background animations from the Pixel Weather app, and a comprehensive icons.json mapping file. See the Structure section below for details.

A comprehensive collection of official weather icons used by Google across their products.

Structure

Icons are organized into sets — each representing a distinct visual style. Sets with theme support have light/ and dark/ subdirectories. An icons.json file at the root maps every weather condition to its icon files across all sets.

set-6 — Google Weather (Outlined + Gradient)

Lottie — Weather Background Animations

Lottie JSON animations extracted from the Pixel Weather app (com.google.android.apps.weather). These are the animated backgrounds shown behind weather conditions.

Available in 8 variants: phone/tablet, portrait/landscape, day/night.

Recommended Set

set-4 has the best coverage (72% of all conditions) and is the only set with Japanese regional icons. If you need a single set to cover most use cases, start there.

icons.json

The icons.json file maps weather conditions to their corresponding icon files across all sets. Each condition includes:

• label — Human-readable name
• aliases — Alternative condition names used across different Google products (useful for mapping API responses)
• has_day_night — Whether the condition has separate day and night icons
• region — If the icon is region-specific (e.g. "japan")
• sets — Which sets contain this icon, with filenames for each variant (day, night, or default)

Each set definition includes a path_template so you can construct full file paths:

const icons = require('./icons.json');

// Get the clear/sunny icon from set-4
const condition = icons.conditions.clear;
const set = icons.sets['set-4'];
const file = condition.sets['set-4'].day; // 'clear_day.svg'
const path = set.path_template
  .replace('{theme}', 'light')
  .replace('{filename}', file);
// 'sets/set-4/light/clear_day.svg'

// Find all sets that have a tornado icon
const tornado = icons.conditions.tornado;
Object.keys(tornado.sets); // ['set-2', 'set-3', 'set-4', 'set-5', 'set-6']

// Look up a condition by alias
const byAlias = Object.entries(icons.conditions)
  .find(([_, c]) => c.aliases?.includes('sunny'));
// ['clear', { label: 'Clear Sky', ... }]

Note: Because different Google products use different naming conventions (e.g. sunny vs clear_day, strong_tstorms vs strong_thunderstorms), filenames vary between sets. Always use icons.json rather than assuming filenames.
