CARROT Weather Shortcuts: Forecast Data and Siri Scope
CARROT Weather's developer release history documents Get Weather Data and Get Data Point, without verifying new Siri AI integration. Use the first action to obtain weather data and the second to select an available field. Radar imagery is a separate shortcut with a documented Premium Ultra requirement; check location coverage and your installed parameters.
What to know
Existing Shortcuts support does not confirm a new Siri AI integration. Action evidence comes from developer-authored version history; current parameter names and entitlement behavior should be checked in the installed app. Radar Shortcuts require Premium Ultra according to those notes.
Try it step by step
- Install or update CARROT Weather, open it, and make sure the forecast for the intended location is available in the app.
- In Apple Shortcuts, inspect CARROT's available actions. Start with Get Weather Data; retain the installed action's actual parameter labels.
- For a single value, connect Get Data Point to the weather data returned by the previous action and choose an available field in the editor.
- Run the shortcut manually and inspect its output. If you choose the radar shortcut instead, check the documented Premium Ultra requirement.
- Save a distinctive name and ask Siri to run that name. Any name you invent is your shortcut label, not an official CARROT voice command.
Which CARROT Weather actions are documented?
CARROT's developer-authored App Store version history explicitly names Get Weather Data and Get Data Point. It explains that the second extracts information from the weather data produced by the first. The same notes describe a shortcut that brings up radar imagery, with Premium Ultra required for that radar feature. These establish actual weather actions rather than merely a share-sheet destination or the ability to open an installed app. The notes also mention App Shortcuts that expose common Siri Shortcuts through Spotlight Search. The evidence is in the older 6.1 release history, not a claim that these actions were newly launched in November 2026. Apple's public store record independently lists version 6.9.2 released October 9, 2026, satisfying the recent-maintenance check without inventing a new Siri integration.
How do weather data and a single data point differ?
Think of Get Weather Data as the source step and Get Data Point as the selection step. For a focused shortcut, inspect the weather result first, then select one field offered by the installed action. Do not assume that every forecast value visible in CARROT's interface is exposed as a Shortcuts field: the source establishes the relationship between the two actions, not an exhaustive output schema. Likewise, a radar shortcut displays imagery; that is a different result from extracting a numerical forecast value. Choose the data workflow if another step needs a value, or the radar workflow when you want to inspect the map. This distinction helps avoid treating an opened radar screen as if it had returned structured weather information to the following action.
How can Siri run a weather shortcut?
Configure the CARROT action inside Apple Shortcuts, review the parameters displayed by your installed version, and run it manually before adding spoken invocation. Apple's Shortcuts guide says that you can activate Siri and say a saved shortcut's name. A name you choose for a morning forecast is therefore a personal shortcut label, not a CARROT-documented phrase or a new conversational skill. No official CARROT spoken examples are supplied by the evidence used here, so this guide does not invent any. Apple's guide also says that a shortcut opening an app requires the device to be unlocked if it is locked. Plan for that boundary when using a workflow that opens weather or radar, rather than promising a completely hands-free experience from every device state.
Membership, location, and source limits
The official support page distinguishes worldwide forecast coverage from features restricted by country. Notifications and map layers have their own coverage lists; worldwide weather data does not imply that every alert or radar layer exists everywhere. The support page also describes multiple subscription levels and alternative forecast sources. Before building a routine around a particular output, check that the corresponding feature is available for your location and membership. The release history specifically requires Premium Ultra for the radar shortcut; it does not establish that every named data action has the same requirement or that all actions are free. Sources were reviewed November 6, 2026. This is documentation-based setup guidance, with no claimed device execution, official Spanish action-name verification, guaranteed background refresh, or Siri AI verified status.
Common questions
Does CARROT Weather have its own Shortcuts actions?
Yes. Developer-authored release notes name Get Weather Data and Get Data Point, describe radar imagery through a shortcut, and mention App Shortcuts in Spotlight. This is direct action evidence. It does not confirm a new Siri AI integration or every current parameter in your installed version.
Does the radar shortcut require a subscription?
The developer's version history explicitly says Premium Ultra is required for the shortcut that brings up radar imagery. Do not generalize that statement to every data action. Check the current membership details and regional map availability before buying a plan for a particular shortcut workflow.
Can I run my weather shortcut while the phone is locked?
Apple says a shortcut that opens an app asks you to unlock a locked device. Apply that limit when planning a CARROT workflow that opens an interface. These sources do not establish a universal locked-screen result for every CARROT action, and this guide has not run a device test.
