New Google Weather OneBox for Desktop
Google updated the weather OneBox from the desktop search interface to match the tablet interface (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2012/07/google-weather-onebox-ipad-android-tablets.html). The new OneBox is huge, it includes more information and it's more interactive. While the old OneBox only displayed the weather forecast for 4 days, the new one has an hourly and an 8-day forecast for temperature, precipitation and wind.

Here's the old interface (I've managed to take this screenshot by pretending I'm using IE7 and changing the user-agent):

It's interesting that many search features are first added to the mobile/tablet interface and a few months later to the desktop UI.
