Weather Layer now available in GoogleMaps API

Google has finally enabled the use of the Weather Layer in its googlemaps API a couple of days ago.

Developers can now use the API to include the weather information that google draws from weather.com in their map applications. The relevant documentation for that part of the API can be found in the googlemaps weather layer API docs.

You can see an example of use of the weather layer inside a simple map here: https://google-developers.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/layer-weather

Keep in mind that you cannot embed maps containing weather information, as well as traffic information either.
