Automated Daily Weather Data Fetcher and Storage

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically calls the OpenWeatherMap API daily to retrieve the latest weather data for specified locations, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and time zone information. The data is then automatically saved into an Airtable database. The entire process requires no manual intervention, enabling scheduled weather data fetching and historical archiving for easy subsequent querying and analysis.

Core Problems Addressed

Automates the acquisition and storage of weather data, eliminating the inconvenience and errors associated with manual querying and recording. It ensures timely data updates and orderly storage, providing reliable data support for weather trend analysis, environmental monitoring, and related business decision-making.

Application Scenarios

  • Meteorological research and environmental monitoring
  • Agricultural planting and management
  • Logistics transportation and outdoor activity planning
  • Smart home and energy management systems
  • Enterprises or individuals requiring long-term weather data accumulation

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Schedule Trigger: Set a fixed daily time (e.g., 10:00 AM) to automatically start the workflow.
  2. Get Weather Data: Call the OpenWeatherMap API to obtain the latest weather information for specified latitude and longitude coordinates.
  3. Store Weather Data: Save the retrieved weather data (temperature, humidity, wind speed, location, time zone) into a designated Airtable table for data archiving.

Involved Systems or Services

  • OpenWeatherMap API: Provides weather data interface
  • Airtable: Serves as the database for storing and managing weather data
  • n8n Scheduling Module: Supports automatic scheduled execution of the workflow
