Templated script variables can help to reduce duplication and improve legibility.

        rain_msg:
          - "Rain is expected at the following times: "
          - "{{ rainy_times | join('\n') }}"
          - "Don't forget your umbrella!"
        no_rain_msg: "No rain in the forecast. Enjoy your day!"
        msg: "{{ rain_msg | join('\n') if rainy_times else no_rain_msg }}"

    - service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_7_pro
      data_template:
        message: '{{ msg }}'
        title: "Hourly Forecast Notification"
        data:
          persistent: true 

    - service: notify.telagram_notifier
      data_template:
        message: '{{ msg }}'
        title: "Rain Forecast"

NOTES

Let me know if the newlines in the messages are correctly passed to the two notifiers (I don’t have a means of testing it).

BTW, is telagram the actual spelling in your system or is that a typo (and should be telegram)?
