Current City Weather

Read the current weather for one configured city and return the complete OpenWeather record in metric units.

Setup

Use an OpenWeather API key authorized for Current Weather Data 2.5. In Open Flow, connect OpenWeather in Read current weather. Set Q to the city and country code, such as berlin,de, and keep Units as metric. In n8n, select OpenWeatherMap API credentials in OpenWeatherMap. Enter your API key in the credential’s Access Token field, set the city and keep Metric format. Shared files contain no account or key.

Run manually. The example city is Berlin, Germany. Each normal run makes one current-weather request, then checks the success code before returning the record. Open Flow exposes it as Weather; n8n returns it as one item. The response includes temperatures in Celsius, wind speed in metres per second, weather conditions, observation timestamps and the location’s UTC offset when supplied. All returned properties are retained. The workflow does not fetch forecasts, change units after the request, send notifications or store results.

OpenWeather still supports city-name lookup but has deprecated its built-in geocoder. This template preserves the source’s single city request; it does not add a separate geocoding request. API permissions and limits apply. Authentication errors, unknown cities, throttling, transport failures and a non-success response stop the run. No workflow retry is configured. n8n’s native authentication helper can repeat a request once after HTTP 401; this does not renew the API key. Open Flow does not repeat that rejected request.

Changes to the source

• Make the original Current Weather, city-name selection and metric defaults explicit.
• Check the API success code before returning the complete response.
• Use the OpenWeather Connector account in Open Flow and preserve the native OpenWeatherMap node in n8n.
