Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get weather information with Shortcuts?
Weather actions provide 15 ways to get current conditions (temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation), hourly forecasts, daily forecasts, severe weather alerts, UV index, air quality, and location-based weather data. Perfect for building weather-aware automations.
Can I get weather for multiple locations?
Yes! Use "Get Current Weather" or "Get Weather Forecast" and specify different locations by name, address, or coordinates. Great for comparing weather at home vs. work, or checking conditions at travel destinations before trips.
How do I create weather-based automations?
Use "Get Current Weather" to retrieve conditions, then check values with "If" statements: "If temperature < 50°F, send coat reminder", "If chance of rain > 50%, notify to bring umbrella". Trigger these automations on a schedule or before leaving home.
Can I access severe weather alerts?
Yes! The weather data includes severe weather alerts when issued by official sources. Use "Get Details of Weather Conditions" to access alert text and severity. Build custom notification workflows to alert you immediately when warnings are issued for your area.
What is the best way to create a morning weather briefing?
Create a shortcut that gets current weather and forecast, formats the data with "Get Details of Weather" and "Combine Text", then displays via notification or speaks with "Speak Text". Include high/low temps, precipitation chance, and any alerts. Schedule as a morning automation.
