Best Weather Bots for Telegram (2026): Get Real-Time Forecasts

Weather apps are among the most-installed applications on any smartphone — and also among the most intrusive, with aggressive location tracking, permission requests, and advertising. Telegram weather bots offer a clean alternative: ask for the forecast, receive it, done. No background tracking, no location history, no upsell notifications.

In this guide we review the best weather bots for Telegram in 2026, covering current conditions, extended forecasts, severe weather alerts, and weather data for groups. Browse more tools in the Utilities category.

Best Weather Bots for Telegram

1. @wttr_in_bot

wttr.in is a beloved command-line weather service that renders forecasts as ASCII art or clean text. The Telegram bot version brings this to chat: send a city name, coordinates, or airport code and receive a three-day forecast with temperature, wind speed, humidity, UV index, and precipitation probability. The output is compact, information-dense, and works perfectly in Telegram's monospace font.

Query examples:

London → 3-day forecast for London, UK
48.8566,2.3522 → forecast for coordinates (Paris)
JFK → forecast for JFK Airport, New York
Moon → lunar phase (yes, this works)

Best for: Users who want quick, data-rich forecasts without images or visual formatting overhead.

2. @WeatherBot

WeatherBot is the most popular dedicated weather bot on Telegram, with a clean interface built around location sharing. On first use, share your location (or type a city name) and the bot configures your default. Subsequent queries just need /weather — no need to specify the location each time.

Features:

Current conditions: temperature (°C/°F), feels-like, humidity, wind
Hourly forecast for the next 24 hours
7-day extended forecast
Weather maps (precipitation, temperature, wind) as images
Sunrise and sunset times
Air quality index (AQI) with health recommendations
Daily weather brief scheduled at your preferred time

Best for: Users wanting a full-featured weather experience closest to a traditional weather app, within Telegram.

3. @OpenWeatherBot

Powered by OpenWeatherMap — one of the world's most comprehensive weather data providers — this bot gives access to hyperlocal forecasts covering 200,000+ cities globally. Its data is particularly strong for smaller cities and towns that other weather services cover poorly.

Unique features:

Historical weather data (what was the weather on a specific past date?)
Weather for any geographic coordinate, not just named cities
Marine weather forecasts for coastal and offshore locations
Agricultural weather data (soil temperature, evapotranspiration) for farming applications

Best for: Users in smaller cities or rural areas, travelers to less-covered regions, and anyone needing historical or agricultural weather data.

4. @ClimateBot

ClimateBot provides long-range climate data alongside current forecasts. Beyond "what will it be like tomorrow," you can ask "what is the typical weather in Barcelona in October" or "is it usually rainy in Tokyo in June." This makes it invaluable for travel planning, event scheduling, and any situation where you need climatological context, not just tomorrow's forecast.

Best for: Travelers and event planners who need historical climate averages alongside current forecasts.

5. @AlertWeatherBot

AlertWeatherBot focuses on severe weather notifications. Configure your location (or multiple locations) and receive automatic alerts when severe weather events are detected: thunderstorms, tropical systems, winter storms, high-wind events, and more. Integrates with the US National Weather Service and equivalent services in 30+ countries for authoritative official alerts.

Alert types:

Severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings
Hurricane and tropical storm watches/warnings
Winter storm and blizzard warnings
Extreme heat and heat index warnings
Flash flood warnings
Fire weather watches

Best for: Users in storm-prone regions, outdoor workers, event planners, and anyone who needs reliable severe weather alerting.

How to Get Weather Alerts Automatically

Most weather bots require you to ask for forecasts. Setting up automatic alerts requires either a bot with built-in scheduling or a custom integration.

Method 1: Built-in daily brief

@WeatherBot lets you set a daily weather brief delivery time. Configure it once and receive your morning forecast automatically, without asking.

Method 2: Automation via Make.com or n8n

Connect a weather API (OpenWeatherMap, Tomorrow.io, or WeatherAPI) to Telegram via Make.com:

Create a scheduled trigger (e.g. every morning at 7am)
Call the weather API with your location
Send the formatted forecast to your Telegram bot

This approach allows complete customization of the format, the data points included, and the alert thresholds that trigger notifications.

Method 3: Custom Python bot

A simple Python script using the OpenWeatherMap API and python-telegram-bot can deliver a daily forecast and alert on specific conditions (e.g. send a notification if precipitation probability exceeds 60%).

Weather Bots for Groups

Several weather bots work well in Telegram group contexts:

Team coordination groups

Add @WeatherBot to a group used for coordinating outdoor teams, construction crews, or event staff. Any group member can query the current conditions with a command, and weather updates become part of the conversation context.

Travel groups

For group travel coordination (family trips, school trips, corporate offsites), having a weather bot in the planning group lets everyone check conditions at the destination without leaving the conversation.

Community alert channels

@AlertWeatherBot can be configured to post severe weather alerts to a public Telegram channel, serving as a community alert system for local areas. Several regional emergency management organizations use this approach to complement official alert systems.

FAQ

Do weather bots track my location?

When you share your location with a weather bot, the bot receives your coordinates for that query. Whether it stores or logs that location depends on the specific bot operator's privacy practices. For privacy-conscious users, typing a city name rather than sharing your live location is the safer option — it provides forecast accuracy without exposing your precise GPS coordinates.

Which weather bot is most accurate?

Weather accuracy depends on data source and location. @OpenWeatherBot and @WeatherBot use OpenWeatherMap data, which has excellent global coverage. @AlertWeatherBot uses official meteorological service data for alerts, which is the most authoritative available. For hyperlocal forecasting accuracy, Tomorrow.io-powered bots tend to outperform in urban areas with complex microclimates.

Can I get weather forecasts for multiple cities?

Yes. @WeatherBot and @OpenWeatherBot accept any city name per query. For automatic monitoring of multiple cities (useful for travelers or remote team managers), @AlertWeatherBot allows configuring multiple locations for alert monitoring simultaneously.

Are there weather bots for sailors and pilots?

@OpenWeatherBot provides marine forecasts including wave height, swell period, and sea surface temperature. For aviation weather (TAF, METAR, SIGMETs), dedicated aviation weather Telegram bots exist that parse official FAA and ICAO data — search Telegram for "METAR bot" or "aviation weather".

Can I use a Telegram weather bot with Telegram Premium?

Telegram Premium doesn't add any weather-specific features. All weather bots work identically on free and Premium Telegram accounts. The bots themselves may have free and paid tiers for premium features like extended forecast range or priority alert delivery.
