Get Weather Information

Retrieve current, forecast, or historical weather data for a location.

Get Weather Information

What does it do?

The Get Weather Information node pulls live or past weather details for a location. Think of it like a weather desk assistant that checks the conditions for you before your workflow sends alerts, plans field work, or builds reports.

Smart Features

  • Supports three weather modes: Get Current weather, a future Forecast, or History for past dates.

  • Works with dynamic values: You can fill the location and dates from earlier workflow steps using @.

  • Accepts several location formats: Use a city, city and country, coordinates, postal code, IP address, or airport code.

  • Returns detailed weather data: The output includes location details, conditions, temperatures, and more.

  • Shows service errors clearly: If the weather service cannot match the location or date, the node returns that message.

Real-World Business Value

  • Add tomorrow’s forecast to logistics updates before dispatching drivers or field teams.

  • Check historical weather during incident reviews, delivery analysis, or insurance reporting.

  • Personalize customer messages based on local weather in each contact’s city.

Step-by-Step Setup

  • In the Type field, choose Current weather, Forecast, or History.

  • In the Value field, enter the location you want to check.

  • Use a simple format in Value, such as London, Paris, France, 48.8566,2.3522, or CDG.

  • If you choose Forecast, enter Day with a number from 1 to 14.

  • If you want one specific forecast date, enter that date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

  • If you choose History, fill Start date and End date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

  • Make sure End date is later than Start date.

  • If your location comes from an earlier step, insert it with @ instead of typing it manually.

  • Run the workflow and review the returned weather details in the output.

Tips & Warnings for First-Timers

  • Use a clear location in Value. If the place name is vague, add the country.

  • Always enter dates in YYYY-MM-DD format. Other date formats can fail.

  • For Forecast, keep Day between 1 and 14.

  • For History, fill both Start date and End date. Leaving one blank can cause errors.

  • Do not use an unsupported Type value. Stick to Current weather, Forecast, or History.

  • Large forecast or history responses can contain a lot of detail. If a later AI step only needs a few fields, filter the result first.

  • This node makes a fresh lookup every time. If you run the same workflow often, expect the weather data to refresh each run.

  • Slow network responses can delay the workflow. Retry if the weather service is temporarily unavailable.
