Google lets you control the weather

Soo, recently i went on google to check on the weather for tomorrow, and like usual i just type "weather" in the search engine. Then it says,
"Google Weather Control for -----------, --
Don't like the weather? Now you can change it in your region by selecting from the dropdown to change precipitation and setting your own temperature." Then when i cliked update weather it says,
"Please notice, after submitting it takes approximately 45 minutes until your weather changes take effect.

I agree to be responsible for the weather of Sacramento, CA"
Is it a April Fool's prank, or is it some sort of old device google has had for a while?

Well ain't that a funny joke?
Maybe they like splash in some water into the air and it humidifies it= there will now be rain tomorrow if the temperature's right.

Honestly?

Look at the date and think for yourself.

There would be public uproar if Google could control the weather.
