getting weather icons to appear at higher zoom levels

[xelawho]

I think it's kind of unlikely, but just in case somebody has an
idea... is there any way to get weather icons on the weather layer to
show up at higher zoom levels? It seems to me that they don't appear
until you zoom out to 12 or something, but that's way too zoomed out
for my map.

thanks for any thoughts

No it's not possible.

From https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/layers#WeatherLayer:

"When the weather layer is enabled and the zoom level is set to 12 or lower, administrative labels, such as the names of streets or regions, will be disabled on your map. At zoom level 13 the weather layer is automatically disabled and administrative labels are restored."
