Description

Simple weather forecast informer. Will send a notification if weather conditions are met.

• Call meteo.lt API to get weather data (Don't abuse their API, they have 20k daily limit. 24 requests per day should be more than enough)
  • Save data to database
• Run periodic worker which checks if data matches specified conditions
  • Ex: if it will rain today – send a notification
    • Email
    • Telegram bot
• Telegram API to ask about current conditions or forecast
  • . Will return a list of options to choose from.
    • Kada lis?, which returns nearest rain forecast
    • Atnaujink duomenis, which will update data
  • orai Will return warnings about today's weather
