Original n8n.io sourceThis workflow automates the process of fetching weather forecasts for your home location, including severe weather alerts, and sends timely notifications. It uses the Visual Crossing API for detailed weather data and integrates with Telegram (or other messaging services) for messaging and alerts.
In summary, the workflow runs every hour, grabs the current day's weather conditions for [your city/location of interest], and returns only those items that truly contain one or more weather alerts.
📅 Step 1: Hourly Trigger The workflow begins with the Hourly Trigger node, which is a scheduleTrigger. This node acts as the clock that initiates the entire process at regular hourly intervals.
🌤️ Step 2: Fetch Weather Data Immediately after the trigger, the workflow moves to the Meteo node, an httpRequest. This node makes an external API call to fetch weather data for your specified location.
API Used: Visual Crossing Web Services
Authentication: Uses your API key (key=[API KEY])
Response format: JSON
🌪🌀 Step 3: Check for Severe Weather The JSON weather data output is analyzed, and if severe weather conditions or alerts are detected, the workflow sends the alert via your preferred communication channel(s).
You can replace the Telegram node with email, WhatsApp, SMS notifications, or add multiple notification nodes to receive severe weather alerts across all desired channels.
This catalog entry is organized from the workflow JSON. The node-level section below shows the executable blocks available for review before importing the template.

Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/10285/10285.json as the source template for this automation.
Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.
Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.
Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.
Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.
Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.
Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
