32-35: List Formatting: Surround list with blank lines
Insert a blank line between the “The integration fetches:” paragraph and the bullet list to satisfy markdown list spacing guidelines.
37-37: Clarify request estimate calculation
Consider specifying that the 4,464-requests/month figure is based on a 31-day month so users understand the basis of the estimate.
45-46: Capitalization: Consistent integration name
Change “Google weather forecast” to “Google Weather forecast” to match the integration’s name.

The YAML metadata includes all required keys (title,description,ha_category,ha_release, etc.) and follows Home Assistant documentation conventions.
18-19: Description: Integration macro and link are accurate
The{% term integration %}macro is used correctly, and the link to Google’s Weather API documentation is valid.
20-28: Prerequisites section is clear
API key requirement and links for obtaining keys and pricing are well explained.
39-42: Removal instructions include is correct
Theintegrations/remove_device_service.mdinclude provides the standard removal workflow.
47-50: Troubleshooting instructions are clear
Debug logging guidance is appropriate and follows Home Assistant norms.

22-22: Use descriptive link text instead of “here”.Avoid generic “here” links for accessibility and clarity. For example:
-You need an API key. Follow instructions [here](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/weather/get-api-key) for creating an API key. +You need a Google Maps API key. Follow the [Get an API key guide](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/weather/get-api-key) to create one.
35-36: Clean up interval wording and hyphenation.Instead of “every 1 hour,” use “every hour” or simply “hourly” for clarity and consistency. For example:
-- daily weather forecast for the next 10 days every 1 hour -- hourly weather forecast for the next 24 hours every 1 hour +- daily weather forecast for the next 10 days (hourly) +- hourly weather forecast for the next 24 hours (hourly)
38-38: Clarify monthly request calculation.The doc states 4,464 requests per month, which assumes a 31-day month. Consider noting the assumption or using a 30-day baseline to avoid confusion:
-This results in 4,464 requests per month, meaning you could have up to 2 locations and still stay under the 10,000 free usage cap. +Assuming a 31-day month, this results in 4,464 requests per month. Even on a 30-day month (≈4,320 requests), you can monitor up to two locations and remain under the 10,000 free-tier cap.
50-51: Enhance troubleshooting with a debug config sample.It’s helpful to show users how to enable debug logging for this integration. For example:

36-38: Simplify frequency phrasing for consistencyRecommend replacing “every 1 hour” with “every hour” and removing redundant terms (e.g., “hourly weather forecast” already implies hourly frequency). This improves readability and parallelism in the bullet list.
48-48: Use descriptive link text instead of “here”Avoid generic link labels; replace “[here]” with a descriptive label such as “[Google support page for region availability]” to improve accessibility and clarity.
52-52: Wrap troubleshooting advice in an admonitionConsider using a note admonition instead of a bullet for the troubleshooting step to increase visibility (e.g.,
{% note %}Enable debug logging and attach logs before opening an issue.{% endnote %}).

24-29: Add the missing comma in the billing sentenceMinor punctuation issue flagged by LanguageTool—add a comma after “GA”.
-For pricing once it's in GA refer to the [billing section in the Google developer documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/weather/usage-and-billing). +For pricing once it's in GA, refer to the [billing section in the Google developer documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/weather/usage-and-billing).
37-40: Tighten phrasing of update cadence (hyphen/wording)“Every 1 hour” reads awkwardly and triggers the
HOUR_HYPHENlint warning. Simplify to “every hour”.- - daily weather forecast for the next 10 days every 1 hour - - hourly weather forecast for the next 24 hours every 1 hour + - daily weather forecast for the next 10 days every hour + - hourly weather forecast for the next 24 hours every hour

6-6: Double-check theha_releaseplaceholder before merge
ha_release: '2025.7'is forward-looking. Make sure the value matches the actual Home Assistant version in which the integration will ship; otherwise the docs site will surface the page under the wrong release tag.
