Texting myself the weather every day


My personal website. Hopefully always being updated!

By passing a custom time range (7am to 11pm) and manually grabbing the min/max results myself, I could constraint the weather information to the hours that actually mattered to me. The Zapier version was able to combine information about precipitation, cloud conditions, and temperature into a short, three-sentence summary, whereas my current implementation just uses a single WMO Weather Code, which isn’t as detailed. With everything pieced together and working on my machine, I turned to GitHub to provide me with a free, easy way to schedule these text messages and send them out at the same time every day.
