Track Hourly Weather Conditions with OpenWeatherMap and Google Sheets

Description

This n8n template allows you to monitor hourly weather conditions in a specific city using OpenWeatherMap and log the results to a Google Sheet. It’s perfect for anyone needing periodic weather tracking—whether you're managing logistics, travel planning, or environmental monitoring.

🔧 How it works
A Schedule Trigger activates the workflow every hour.

The Get Weather Data from OpenWeatherMap node fetches real-time weather details using the city name you specify.

An IF node checks if the weather description contains "rain" or the temperature is below a set threshold.

If the condition is true, the data is formatted with city, temperature, humidity, and conditions.

The Google Sheets node appends this formatted information to your designated sheet.

👤 Who is it for?
This workflow is ideal for:

Operations teams monitoring weather-sensitive logistics

Researchers collecting climate data

Developers and hobbyists learning how to connect APIs with Google Sheets

🗂️ Google Sheet Structure
Your Google Sheet should have the following columns:

city (string)

temperature (K) (number)

⚙️ Setup Instructions
Create a Google Sheet with the above columns.

Set up your Google Service Account credentials in n8n.
