Check event weather safety and suggest backup dates

The system checks forecasts against your event's safety limits and finds a safer date if conditions look risky.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per scheduled event.

The problem it solves

You have to manually check the forecast against safety rules for each sport before every outdoor event, and it is easy to miss a warning sign. When conditions turn bad, scrambling to find a safe alternative date at the last minute is stressful.

Who it fits

Sports organizers, schools, and event planners who run outdoor games or races.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically on a schedule
  2. Checks the forecast for each scheduled event against sport-specific safety limits
  3. Flags risks like storms, extreme heat, or high wind, and rates the risk level
  4. If conditions are unsafe, scans the 5-day forecast for a safer alternative date
  5. Sends urgent alerts to Slack and email for critical risks, plus a full report
What you get

Unsafe events caught before they happen

You get your outdoor events checked against weather safety limits automatically, with a safer backup date suggested when conditions look risky.

What you get

A risk-rated safety report for each event, with an alternative date suggested when needed.

What you need

An OpenWeatherMap API key, a Slack workspace, a Gmail account, and optionally Google Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
