Prepare your board

Ensure your board has the following columns:

  1. A start date/time and end date/time for your jobs.
    These will be used to display your jobs in the calendar, and sets the date and time for the weather forecast.
  2. A location column for the job location and weather forecast location.
  3. A text column to hold the weather forecast.

Set up weather automations

In the automation centre, select Templates, and search for “Weather”.

Set up these three recipes:

  1. Every time period forecast all items' Weather at Location on Start date and update Weather forecast.
  2. When Location changes forecast the weather at Location on Start date and update Weather forecast.
  3. When Start date changes forecast the weather at Location on Start date and update Weather forecast.

Next time these automations run, they will update your items’ weather forecasts in your board.

Display the weather forecast on your events

In Calendar Plus, configure your event series to display the weather forecast column under Information at a glance.

You may need to wait until the next time the automations run to see the weather forecast.

All done! 🎉
