Samsung has started rolling out a fresh update to its Weather app, version v1.7.30.8, bringing an interface redesign that contains new icons and radar controls.

It’s not a massive overhaul, but it tweaks enough of the interface to make daily weather checks feel a bit more refined. This is one of those apps that people actually use every day, so even small visual changes tend to matter more than you would expect.

The most noticeable change shows up in the Pollen section. Samsung has dropped the old translucent leaf icon and replaced it with more distinct, solid icons for Tree, Grass, and Ragweed.

It’s a simple shift, but it makes the data easier to scan at a glance. That said, the icons still don’t fully communicate intensity levels as clearly as they could.

Wind and Pressure cards have also been refreshed. The graphics look newer, with the new icons looking modern, but they may take a second longer to interpret.

Then there’s the Moon card, which gets a practical upgrade. Samsung has tightened the layout by placing moonrise and moonset times side by side. It cuts down on wasted space and makes the card feel less cluttered.

The Radar section is where things get a bit more interactive. At the bottom of the map, you now get a row of quick-access icons for different layers, including a 6-hour forecast, radar view, cloud coverage, and temperature.

If you rely on Samsung Weather, this update is worth grabbing.
