# Weather

Add current, historical or forecast weather data to a MESA workflow with the Weather tool, using its ready-made actions and a Premium task allowance.

The **Weather** tool provides current, historical weather data, and future weather.

Weather is a Premium app. There is a limit to the number of Premium actions we provide for free. [Learn more](https://docs.getmesa.com/going-further/plans-and-billing/#premium-steps)
