When/How often are forecasts updated/released?

Different providers have different update schedules. For example, OpenWeather updates forecasts every 8 minutes and KMA every hour. Save a JSON array of cron expressions for each provider's schedule onto an operational DB.

How granular the location should be?

How to deal with different levels of geocoding?

How to deal with different address schemes around the world?

The location info will be standardized according to a return format of reverse geocoding API

The first 3 levels will be stored into DB and extra levels are stored as a JSON object.
