Weather condition monitoring with alerts for scheduling

Purpose

1.1. Automate continuous weather condition monitoring for parasailing operations to ensure rider safety and optimized scheduling.
1.2. Automates extraction of hyperlocal weather data, sends real-time alerts to staff/clients, triggers ride rescheduling or ride termination, and archives historical weather decision logs.
1.3. Automator enables reduction of manual weather checks, error-prone scheduling, and enhances safety through automated alerting and advanced scheduling automation.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automated trigger on rapid change in wind speed, rain onset, thunderstorms, or high UV identified from weather API feed.
2.2. Automator triggers at scheduled intervals (e.g., every 10 minutes) for periodic checks.
2.3. Automated alerts triggered by operator-set thresholds (e.g., wind > 20 knots; temp > 35°C; humidity > 85%).
2.4. Automated manual override for ad hoc weather checks.
