The new 'Frost alert + reminder' shortcut helps you stay prepared for cold weather. It automatically checks hourly forecasts for your location and notifies you if temperatures are expected to drop below a specified threshold, prompting you to take action like covering your car's windshield. This ensures your vehicle is protected and gives you peace of mind during chilly nights.
This shortcut leverages Apple Intelligence (ChatGPT through the 'Use Cloud Model' action) and your current location to proactively monitor weather conditions. It checks the hourly forecast from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM and, if the temperature drops below 1 degree Celsius (you can customize this), it triggers a notification and adds a reminder to your Reminders app. The shortcut is designed to simplify your routine and prevent potential issues from unexpected frost.
To ensure you always receive timely frost alerts, consider setting up a personal automation to run this shortcut daily, perhaps in the late afternoon or early evening. This way, you won't forget to check the forecast. Also, review the prompt in the 'Use ChatGPT' action to fine-tune the temperature threshold (e.g., switch to Fahrenheit) and the notification/reminder times to best fit your local climate and personal schedule.
The 'Frost alert + reminder' shortcut is a smart addition to your daily toolkit, leveraging advanced AI to protect your vehicle from unexpected frost. By providing automated, location-aware alerts and reminders, it eliminates manual weather checks and ensures you're always one step ahead of the cold. This simple yet powerful automation offers convenience and peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your day without worrying about frost damage.
