Members check the weather with /weather, /forecast and /air_quality. They can save their own city with /set_my_city and pick °C or °F with /set_weather_unit. Replies use the bot language of the server; command names stay in English.

How it works#

  • The city is optional: the bot uses the city the member typed, then their saved city, then the server's default city.
  • Choose between a classic embed or a rendered image card for /weather and /forecast.
  • The daily report posts once a day at the hour you pick, in the server timezone from Settings.
  • /set_my_city and /set_weather_unit replies are only visible to the member.

Good to know#

Members can save their own city with /set_my_city and units with /set_weather_unit, so /weather works without typing a city.
A daily weather report at a fixed time works well in a general or news channel.
