☀️ Say hello to RotaCloud’s new weather forecasting feature ☀️

Hi there,

We’ve just added a handy update to your Rotas page - live weather forecasts will now give you even more visibility to plan (and adapt) your staffing.

If the weather affects how busy your business gets, you’re not alone. Around half of our customers say the weather plays a big role in how busy they are each day.

Now, with weather forecasts built into your rota, you can make faster, smarter scheduling decisions and avoid the cost of overstaffing when the skies turn grey.

What’s new?

You’ll now see a weather icon at the top of the rota (week view only), showing the forecast for:

• Today and the next 10 days
• Each of your sites, based on their location
• Current conditions and temperature - just hover for more detail

Running multiple locations? No problem. RotaCloud automatically checks each site’s address and displays a localised forecast so you can stay on top of staffing decisions, wherever your team is.

We use the latest data from Apple Weather, so you can trust you’ll get reliable, up-to-date forecasts that match what your customers are likely seeing too.

Why we built it
When footfall changes with the forecast, you need to know in advance and be able to react quickly. Labour is often your biggest expense, so this feature helps you stay agile, adjusting your rota when needed to avoid costly overspends or last-minute chaos.

How it works
To get started, just head to the filter menu on your Rotas page and toggle on the weather view.

A few quick notes:

• Available for admins and managers only
• Your rota must be tied to a specific location - no address, no forecast!
