1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining a physical location of a device;
identifying a defined group of weather categorizations, wherein respective weather categorizations of the defined group of weather categorizations correspond to respective data protection actions for adjusting respective levels of data protection, and wherein the respective weather categorizations correspond to respective multiple types of weather predictions;
determining a first weather prediction from a first weather source for the physical location for a first time period, and a second weather prediction from a second weather source for the physical location for a second time period;
combining the first weather prediction and the second weather prediction to produce a combined weather prediction, the combined weather prediction occurring during a third time period, the third time period overlapping with the first time period and the second time period;
analyzing the combined weather prediction to determine a weather categorization from the defined group of weather categorizations, resulting in a determined weather categorization,
wherein the first weather prediction corresponds to a first weather categorization having a first severity,
wherein the second weather prediction corresponds to a second weather categorization having a second severity, and
wherein the determined weather categorization corresponds to a higher severity of the first weather categorization and the second weather categorization;
and
based on the determined weather categorization, implementing, at a current time, increasing a level of data protection of the levels of data protection of the device for the third time period, wherein the third time period occurs at a future time.
