I tried picking through the older threads for this but couldn’t seem to find an answer. I would like to be able to take action if the forecasted temperature is going to be below X degrees. Even better if I could factor in wind and/or inclimate weather. When the weather is at risk of knocking out our power, and its going to be very cold, I usually keep the heat up all the time as opposed to letting it drop while we are away or asleep. I found the accuweather app but only seem to be able to reference the current temp. Any suggestions?
If you’re a coder at all (I’m not advanced enough yet to really help much on this one), you could look at some SmartApps like these to see what they’re doing to get the information, and to see how they use it to spawn automations, etc.

Is there an app which could do it for me ?
(not the temperature but weather state - like clear, rainy, cloudy etc.)
Thanks.
If you’re like me, you’ve had your share of weather this year. I decided to use SmartThings to better visualize the weather - and to know whether I need an umbrella, a coat, a snow shovel, some tissues (for high pollen) or sandals and shorts when I head out the door.
Enter the color changing smart weather lamp app. It uses a motion sensor and one or more Phillips Hue or LifX LED bulbs to visually display the weather forecast. Use your favorite lamp fixture.
Here is a quick video that shows how it works. Color Changing Smart Weather Lamp - YouTube The video doesn’t sufficiently capture the cool and vivid colors created by the Hue bulb, but you get the idea.

This app is based on the Color Changing Smart Weather lamp by Jim Kohlenberger (@jkohlen ).
ColorCast is a weather app that displays the forecast with colors using your Hue or LIFX lights. You can specify which types of wether conditions to display and assign specific colors to let you know when it’s going to rain, snow, sleet, when it’s going to be cloudy, windy, cold, hot and/or humid. You can define the parameters for each weather type and ColorCast will let you know if any of those conditions will occur during the forecast period. ColorCast will also flash the lights if you choose to be notified of weather alerts. You can choose the forecast range so you can be notified of the current conditions or, if you’re heading out to work in the morning, the forecast for the next 8 hours, or an…
