Weather Integration
DrillerDB shows the weather forecast and the recent rain for each project that has GPS coordinates. Use it to check a job site before you schedule the job or send a crew.
DrillerDB does not send weather alerts. No email, text message, or push notification goes out when the forecast changes. You see the weather when you open a project, the dashboard, or the Weather page.
Quick Start: Check the weather for a job
- Open the project.
- Find the weather card on the Overview tab.
- Click the card to open the full weather detail.
- Read the 7-day forecast and the Ground conditions section.
- Move the job if the site looks too wet, too cold, or too windy.
A project with no GPS coordinates has no weather card. Enter the latitude and longitude on the project, and the card appears.

What the weather feature does not do
- It does not send weather alerts by email, text message, or push notification.
- It does not show weather on the schedule calendar.
- It does not show an hourly forecast.
- It shows the last 7 days of rain. It does not show older weather history.
- The Android app does not show a forecast.
Check the weather yourself when you plan the week. Nothing in DrillerDB warns you or reschedules a job for you.
