n8n Open-Meteo Weather Video Workflow: Daily Local Forecast

Generate a Daily Local Forecast video from Open-Meteo—automatically pick the best daylight planning window

This n8n Open-Meteo Weather Video Workflow resolves a single city, fetches fresh weather data, ranks three-hour daylight windows by rain and wind, and then outputs a ready-to-watch forecast video (or a clear “no qualifying window” notice) with a review CSV of the planning facts.

What this workflow does

Designed for scheduling or manual starts, it:

• Loads your configured location, forecast units, branding, thresholds, and render limits.
• Resolves the city using Open-Meteo geocoding, requiring your configured country and administrative region to identify one location.
• Fetches fresh current, hourly, and daily forecasts, then consults the Weather Briefings log to skip completed keys or resume accepted jobs.
• Ranks future three-hour daylight windows using rain probability, wind, and weather codes—then branches to either a qualifying window or an explicit no-window notice.
• Builds the video with current conditions, a three-day outlook, and the selected planning decision card (optional music supported as configured).
• Uses Zvid native nodes to validate and quote against your credit ceiling. A dry run returns the source plan/design/quote without rendering.
• For live runs, reserves the key, submits and tracks one job, then saves the actual outcome. Completed media becomes “Watch video,” and the CSV preserves the forecast and planning facts for review.

Use cases

• Plan outdoor activities with an automatic “best window” local forecast video.
• Operations/SaaS teams generating daily customer-facing weather briefings.
• Automation engineers testing scheduled media rendering with transparent decision logic and CSV outputs.
