We've added a new calendar format with a little extra eye candy. These calendars have small icons at the top of the day when there's new information.
Using these calendars, you can now get some extra information directly in your calendar view — like the upcoming weather, the phases of the moon, and even a heads up when a new Google Doodle appears on Google.com.
To get the weather forecast calendar, sign in to Google Calendar and click Settings to update your weather preferences.
To add the Google doodles calendar or the moon phases calendar, click the plus symbol (+) next to "Other Calendars" on the left side of your screen. Select the "Browse Calendars" tab and then look in the "Fun Calendars" area. When you find the calendar you want, just click the "Add Calendar" button.
If you're interested (and technically inclined) you can publish a calendar in the iCal format that takes advantage of this new format, or use the updated Google Calendar Data API to make calendars like this of your own. Learn more
