Set up a routine/Alert based on weather forecast

AmeriCanuck — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 05:22:05 GMT

Hi I am just wondering if there's a way to set up some type of an alert or routine on your device automatically that can look at the weather if it's going to snow say overnight or by early next morning so that it notifies me, so I can set my alarm to get up early and help shovel the walk outside. Because I don't normally check the weather manually if I'm not planning on going outside the next morning

I rely on Bob for the upcoming weather.

Granted it's low tech, but he's pretty reliable.

Other than that, I don't know if it's possible to use Samsung's Routines for this.

Some weather apps will have options for weather alerts, ie: Accuweather.

😂😂 Bob.. we had a Charlie squirrel where I grew up in the one neighborhood. We didn't rely on him for the weather but he let us feed him nuts out of her hand to him. So far switching at internet and provide anything in I tried to look in routine to see if I could set something up but I didn't see any trigger for weather in there. It's just cuz I moved to this place with a roommate and I wanted to get up and help shovel the sidewalk so he's not doing it all the time so because I don't know how many check the weather every day I sometimes don't know it snowed until after a while in the morning after it's already been shoveled or whatever

His name is Bob, as in Bobcat, because he lost his tail.. probably in a fight with other squirrels.. he's got a bad attitude towards other squirrels 🤣

If they come near me, he bites them on the 🍑 and squirrel squeaks are pretty funny..

Not going to lie that's not a bad idea however I live in a tent homeless please don't take Betty and second of all I've got way more ideas that you can do with routines and modes and the little individual ones like a lot and lastly I have a lot of fun when you can actually customize it to the point that they're some ideas they shouldn't say

You know what? I've actually gotten the opposite kind of comments that was kind of a creative way to incorporate both. I'll keep it this way as it is I've had this online name for years...and you're the first person to ever for whatever reason have an issue with that.🤷 ♂️ 🙄 Plus. You dont know me and I dont know you..so why does it matter to you so much?

Like I said bud I didn't mean any disrespect I just find it kind of amusing when I hear people say American Canucks that's all I do find it amusing example Tom McDonald he represents us he was born I believe in Vancouver or Kelowna right around the block from where I'm currently am he's Canadian but he reps US so I dual citizenship I respect in full heart man I wish I had that I wish I had clearance just to go for pass when I was long haul I'd love the highway I wanted to see North America I didn't mean any disrespect and I know I have no problem I just find it amusing

Hi AmeriCanuck,

Thank you for sharing your inquiry. At present, Samsung devices do not provide a native feature that automatically adjusts alarms based on weather conditions. However, you may be able to achieve a similar outcome by creating a routine through the Bixby Routines or Modes and Routines settings. These tools allow you to set conditions and triggers, such as checking the weather forecast, and then send a notification or reminder accordingly.

We recommend exploring these options to determine which best suits your requirements. Your suggestion highlights a valuable use case, and feedback such as this helps guide future enhancements to device functionality.

Something like this could work. You have to add the "get snowfall probability" action for every hour. Select when any condition is met. It should give what you're looking for.

I actually came across the same type of routine. But mines I set up a bit differently. I don't know if it'll work the way I set it up. I might have to try it like you did
