How to Get a Daily Weather Forecast by Email
There are a few ways to get a daily weather forecast by email: a weather service's forecast email, an automation tool such as IFTTT or Zapier, the weather app you already open every morning, or one sentence handed to MailMeWhen, which needs no account or app.
Weather apps are on every phone, and yet the morning question stays the same: do I need a jacket? A daily forecast by email answers it before you ask — one glance in the inbox you already open.
Ways to get a daily weather forecast by email
A daily weather email in one sentence
With MailMeWhen you write it the way you'd tell a person: your city, the time you want it, what you care about — 'tomorrow's high and low and whether I need an umbrella', 'wind for the sailing club', 'is it a good day to hang the laundry'. That's the whole setup.
The first 7 days are free, no payment details. After that, $5/month for that one letter, and it stops on its own if you don't subscribe. One reply stops it whenever you like.
Good to know about daily weather emails
This is a daily request: a letter at your chosen time, whether the weather is boring or not. If you'd rather hear nothing on ordinary days and only be warned before rain, ask for that instead — the sentence is the setting.
Say the time and the place. 'Every evening at 8 for Lisbon, tomorrow's forecast' gets you exactly that.
Try it — hand us this sentence:
Every evening at 8, email me tomorrow's weather for Chicago: high, low, chance of rain, and whether I need a jacket.
Common questions
What time does the daily weather email arrive?
At the time you ask for: every morning at 7, every evening at 8, whatever fits your day. Say the time and the place in your request — the sentence is the setting. From then on the letter comes every day at that hour, whether the weather is remarkable or not. If you'd rather hear nothing on ordinary days and only be warned before rain, ask for a rain alert instead.
What does the daily weather letter contain?
Whatever you name in your request: tomorrow's high and low, the chance of rain, the wind, whether you need a jacket or an umbrella. The letter is built around those details rather than a page of numbers. Ask for what you actually decide on in the morning, and that is what the letter is about.
Does it work for any city?
Yes. Name the city, or the town or neighbourhood if your weather differs from the city's. The letter reflects the forecast for that place — and forecasts are forecasts, so read it as a heads-up, not a promise.
