What changes when Claude can query Xweather
Instead of building weather API requests or juggling several dashboards, you ask Claude a question about a place and a time, and it calls the right Xweather data itself. Xweather positions the connector for analysis and planning: observed conditions, forecasts, history, alerts, air quality, lightning, tropical storms, maps and road weather.
Know what is happening now. xweather_get_current_weather and xweather_get_current_active_weather_alerts give the live conditions and the official warnings in force for a location.
Plan the next hours and days. xweather_get_forecast_weather covers the coming days, while xweather_get_forecast_precipitation_timing tells when rain or snow should start and stop.
Look back to spot trends. xweather_get_daily_weather_summaries and its aggregated twin turn past weeks into daily figures or totals, and the tropical tools cover storms from those active now to past cyclones used as analogues.
The boundaries matter too. Every tool reads data; none of them changes anything in your Xweather account. Several have documented ceilings: one month of data per request for the aggregates and daily summaries, 24 hours for hourly conditions and road weather. Connecting requires your Xweather API credentials. And nothing runs by itself: no alert pushes a message to you. Event-driven workflows belong to automation platforms, gathered in the Integrations hub, which do another job rather than the same one better.
Five words before you connect
The Claude vocabulary used on this page, in one minute.
- Connector
- A link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work with it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the tools it needs on its own, and the directory lists every one by name.
- Authorization
- The service's own screen where you grant the access Claude will use. Given once per person, and it can be withdrawn the same way.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes ahead with something that changes an account, shown in the conversation.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as Xweather.
Connect Vaisala Xweather in three steps
- 01
Find Xweather in Claude
Open Claude's settings, go to Customize and then Connectors, and look up Vaisala Xweather. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector before members can each authenticate.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on its row, then complete the authorization page Xweather opens, where it asks for your Xweather API credentials. If the link breaks later, Disconnect and connect again.
- 03
Read the authorization screen
Check what the screen asks before you approve it. It belongs to Xweather, not to Claude, and it is what sets the reach of the access. That access can also be withdrawn later from the service's side.
The 19 tools, all on the reading side

What Claude reads (19)
19 toolsEvery tool here retrieves weather information and leaves your account as it is.
xweather_get_aggregated_daily_weather_summaries
Rolls many days into a single set of statistics with flexible filters: a total of monthly rain, an average temperature for a given month, or a count of hot days over a season.
xweather_get_aggregated_weather_conditions
Computes quick statistics such as max, min, average, sum or count over recent observations, with simple filters, so Claude can answer how much rain fell or what the highest temperature was over a period.
xweather_get_current_active_tropical_systems
Lists every tropical cyclone active anywhere in the world right now, with its position, intensity and movement. It answers the plain question of which storms exist at this moment.
xweather_get_current_active_weather_alerts
Returns the official watches, warnings and advisories in force for a location, the quickest way for Claude to check whether anything is currently flagged there.
xweather_get_current_airquality
Gives the present air quality index for a place, its category and the main pollutants involved, which is what Claude needs to judge whether outdoor activity is advisable right now.
xweather_get_current_tropical_storms_near_location
Narrows the tropical picture to systems within a chosen radius of a place, or whose track or forecast passes close to it, answering whether a hurricane is near you.
xweather_get_current_weather
Describes conditions at a location as they are now, temperature, humidity, wind and the rest, plus any weather alert in force. It is Claude's answer to what it is like outside right now.
xweather_get_current_weather_impacts
Reports the risk and impact indicators in effect for a place, heat, cold, storms, air quality and similar, to support decisions about safety and activities rather than raw readings.
xweather_get_daily_weather_summaries
Delivers one summary per day, historical or near-future, with minimum, maximum and average temperatures and precipitation totals, useful to spot a pattern or a trend across days.
xweather_get_forecast_airquality
Looks ahead at air quality: the forecast index, its category and the key pollutants expected, so Claude can say whether the coming days look fine for being outdoors.
xweather_get_forecast_precipitation_timing
Pinpoints when the next rain or snow should start and stop, and how long it lasts, over the coming hours to days. It is built for the question of when it will start or stop raining.
xweather_get_forecast_weather
Supplies forecast periods day by day, with temperatures, chances of precipitation, wind and the main conditions, and can split them into day and night periods for the days ahead.
xweather_get_historical_lightning_strikes
Retrieves recent lightning around a location, with optional summaries grouped by time slots, so Claude can tell whether strikes have been detected nearby and how often.
xweather_get_historical_tropical_cyclones
Searches past cyclones by basin, by date or by distance from a place, for historical analysis or for comparing a current storm with similar ones from previous seasons.
xweather_get_raster_maps
Generates a raster weather map for whatever location you name. Xweather documents this tool in a single line: it lists no layers, styles or time ranges, so the page does not promise any particular map beyond a raster image of the place.
xweather_get_roadweather
Reports road surface conditions and driving hazards at a single location, now and in the short range, up to 24 hours ahead.
xweather_get_roadweather_routes
Covers a whole drive between an origin and a destination: road weather for every turn or manoeuvre, a summary of the trip and conditions step by step.
xweather_get_tropical_cyclone_detail
Opens the full record of a single cyclone: its lifespan, current status, the track it has followed and, if it is still active, its forecast track.
xweather_get_weather_conditions
Covers up to 24 hours of hourly conditions, recent or upcoming, for short-term planning such as the next few hours or the windiest hour ahead.
What Claude checks with you first
By default, Claude stops and asks before each action it takes on an account for someone. The prompt appears in the conversation when it matters.
On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether a member may let some actions pass without being asked every time. They can also cap what a connector may do across the organization, keeping reading open and writing closed, and nobody overrides that from a personal account. Claude works with the rights of the person who connected and nothing beyond them: what that person cannot reach, Claude cannot reach either.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows plan availability. Connector by connector, that answer is published nowhere.
The published rule is general: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, and on Team and Enterprise an Owner or Primary Owner enables a connector for the organization first. For the live state of this one, look at the connector's sheet in the official directory. Every connector detail on this page comes from Xweather's documentation; no Claude help article covers it.
Where this connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers, so nothing happens when a warning is issued or a storm forms.
A tool list that shows only reading is an observed floor, not a guarantee: an administrator can open actions that appear on no public sheet. The partner badge in the directory is not a security audit, and Anthropic states on every sheet that it neither chooses the tools a publisher exposes nor guarantees they behave as announced. Connect what comes from a publisher you know. For alert-driven flows, the Integrations hub covers the automation side.
