Email Weather

Idea

A service that:

• Recieve an email containing requested coordinates, and optionally elevation.
• Return an email with a text description 160 characters with the forecast.
• Ideally use the ECMWF forecast model

  • https://github.com/open-meteo/open-meteo
• Compensate reported temperature using altitude
  • https://www.opentopodata.org/datasets/aster/ Global 30m resolution
  • https://www.opentopodata.org/datasets/nzdem/ NZ 8m resolution (probably want to use another API to determine whether we are inside New Zealand? Or check inside a bounding box first)
• Use a persistent queue for message processing robustness
