Frost warning for my farms
A WhatsApp frost warning to farm managers when nights get cold.
What it does
Every morning: the 5-day forecast at each of your farms, and when nights drop to 3 degrees or less, a WhatsApp message to the farm managers.
In one sentence: Every day at 05:00, take your table, get the 5-day weather forecast, keep those where temp_min ≤ 3, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
One frosty night can ruin a crop. A warning a few days ahead is enough to cover plants and run frost protection.
Who it is for
Agriculture & food supply. Growers, agri suppliers and food supply teams watching fields and weather and finding buyers and dealers. Every use case for agriculture & food supply
Best use cases
- A fruit grower
- A vineyard

What each run gives you
- WhatsApp to managers
The time it saves
Every day at 05:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 10 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 5 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
