Automate OpenWeatherMap

OpenWeatherMap supplies current conditions and forecasts, which people turn into morning briefings, frost or heat warnings, on-demand lookups and a running record of temperatures. Describe the city and conditions you care about to your AI assistant, look over what it plans to send, and it keeps checking the weather for you.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: give me a link I can send a city name or latitude and longitude to, and email me the current temperature and conditions there.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in OpenWeatherMap

Below are ways to get weather when it matters: a morning summary, a warning before freezing or extreme heat, a lookup on request and a monthly record of highs and lows. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
The moment it happens

Look up the weather for any city from a link

You send a city name or coordinates to a private link and get the current weather back by email.

Daily

Get the day's weather every morning

Each morning at 7 you get today's temperature, conditions and rain chance for your city.

See how it works
Every 3 hours

Get warned before frost, snow or extreme heat

You hear about the weather only when freezing, snow or heat over your limit is forecast.

Collects as they arrive, acts daily

Keep a monthly record of temperatures

Each day's weather is stored, and once a month you get averages and extremes.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with OpenWeatherMap, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any OpenWeatherMap automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what OpenWeatherMap should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every morning at 6am, check the OpenWeatherMap forecast for my city and message me only if rain over 5mm or frost is expected today.

Every evening, check tomorrow's forecast with OpenWeatherMap for each job site in my Google Sheets and mark sites where wind is above 40 km/h.

Every morning, check OpenWeatherMap for my outdoor events in Google Calendar this week and post a warning to Slack for any event with a high chance of rain.

Beyond chat

Have OpenWeatherMap work when you're not in the chat

Connecting OpenWeatherMap to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect OpenWeatherMap

OpenWeatherMap gives you an API key as soon as you sign up. It is sent with each request as the `appid` parameter.

OpenWeatherMap

Weather

  1. Create an OpenWeather account, or sign in to yours.
  2. Open the API keys page in your account and generate a key.
  3. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, save the key as a secret on Connections & secrets.

Good to know

OpenWeatherMap limits that affect automations

  • Call limits apply to your whole account, not to each key, and depend on your plan.
  • One Call 3.0 includes 1,000 free calls a day; going over needs the separate One Call by Call subscription.
  • Frequent checks across many cities add up quickly, so pick an interval that matches how fast the weather matters to you.

FAQ

Questions about automating OpenWeatherMap

What weather data can ClickRuntime read?
Current weather and forecasts for a city name or a pair of coordinates, including temperature, conditions and the chance of rain.
Can I get the weather only when something is wrong?
Yes. The alert automation checks the forecast every few hours and emails you once per event when it crosses your limits, such as freezing, snow or above 35°C.
Does OpenWeatherMap send alerts by itself?
No. Your automation asks for the forecast on a schedule, or runs when you call its link with a city.
Do I need an AI subscription?
No. AI comes with every ClickRuntime plan, and these weather jobs run without it.
Can it keep a history?
Yes. An automation can store each day's reading and send a monthly summary of averages and extremes.
Is this a OpenWeatherMap connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with OpenWeatherMap data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change OpenWeatherMap while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each OpenWeatherMap event.
