Live Weather & Forecast in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Pull current weather and a 7-day forecast into your spreadsheet. Returns temperature, humidity and the daily outlook, auto-refreshing — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 10 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Live conditions per city

List your destinations down column A and fill =VERVE("weatherforecast", A2, "field", "tempC") beside them — every row shows the current temperature, so a travel or events sheet always reflects what's actually happening outside.

Gate plans on the forecast

Read the forecast into a cell and let an IF flag any outdoor booking, shoot, or delivery whose day looks risky — the sheet does the checking for you.

An ops board that refreshes itself

Set a 30-minute refresh and a facilities or logistics board stays current on its own, no one re-checking a weather site all day.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("weatherforecast", "San Francisco", "field", "tempC")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("weatherforecast", "San Francisco", "field", "tempC")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

forecast
Included by default. Set to false to omit the 7-day forecast and return current conditions only.
=VERVE("weatherforecast", "San Francisco", "forecast", "true")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Feelslike CPremium
=VERVE("weatherforecast", "San Francisco", "field", "feelslikeC")
Feelslike FPremium
=VERVE("weatherforecast", "San Francisco", "field", "feelslikeF")

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Live Weather & Forecast, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Live Weather & Forecast into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("weatherforecast", "San Francisco", "field", "tempC") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from Live Weather & Forecast?

Live Weather & Forecast returns tempC, tempF, windMph, windKph and windDegree, plus 1 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Can I narrow what Live Weather & Forecast returns?

Yes — Live Weather & Forecast takes "forecast" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("weatherforecast", "San Francisco", "forecast", "true") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Which Live Weather & Forecast fields need a paid plan?

pressureMb, pressureIn, precipMm and precipIn, plus 2 more are included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.

Can I fill a whole column of Live Weather & Forecast at once?

Yes. Put your city values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each Live Weather & Forecast cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 10 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does Live Weather & Forecast work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
