The problem it solves

You can't watch the weather forecast all day, but missing a severe storm warning can disrupt your operations, put your team at risk, or damage property. By the time a warning shows up on the news, you may have already lost the chance to prepare.

Who it fits

A business that operates outdoors or is sensitive to severe weather, like construction, events, agriculture, or delivery services.

How it works

  1. Every hour, the system checks the current forecast for your location
  2. It pulls detailed weather data and alerts from Visual Crossing
  3. If severe weather is detected, it flags the alert automatically
  4. You get an instant message with the details so you can act right away
What you get

Storm warnings that reach you before the storm does

You get an instant alert the moment severe weather is expected in your area, so you can act before it hits.

What you get

An instant alert message whenever severe weather is forecast for your location.

What you need

A Visual Crossing weather API account and a messaging app like Telegram or email.

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.
