I am looking for an iPhone application that tracks weather and sends me notification when weather drops to a certain degree or rise to a certain degree. Let s I am in city X, and if weather drops to 7 Celsius, I want a notification. Can be great if includes Rainy situations too. What is available there that meet this need?

Does it need to be an iPhone app? Is simply getting an alert via SMS good enough? If so, you could rig something with a raspberry pi.

Is OP going to carry the Raspberry Pi around with them to City X and City Y?

I’d imagine there are weather apps that can do this.

OP only wants a notification?

Smartthings doess that. Based on weather or temperature or humidity.

Do you just want to know when the official temperature for a given city reaches you set point?

Most people would approach this by having their own local thermometer and triggering off that.

By I have seen an app called Custom Weather Alerts that should do what you are asking.

You could do that in IFTTT. Need to create an account you are allowed three automations for free

Yeah, but works only for those in the US, as there is no way to enter international phone numbers

You will need to roll your own with ShortCuts then.
