detail.loadingPreview
Never get caught off guard by cold weather again! This n8n workflow automatically checks the 'feels like' temperature in your chosen city and sends you a personalized SMS reminder via Twilio if it drops below a configurable threshold, ensuring you're always dressed appropriately.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow provides a simple yet effective way to stay informed about local weather conditions. Triggered on a regular schedule, it fetches real-time 'feels like' temperature data from OpenWeatherMap for a specified city. A conditional IF statement then evaluates whether the temperature falls below a predefined comfort level. If the weather is indeed chilly, the workflow springs into action, sending a customized SMS message directly to your phone via Twilio, prompting you to dress warmly. This hands-free automation ensures you receive timely, relevant weather alerts without needing to manually check forecasts.
