Wind alert for crane lifts

What it does

Three times a day: the wind forecast at each of your crane sites, and when gusts reach 45 km/h the site managers are told in Slack to stop lifts.

In one sentence: Every day at 06:00, 10:00, 14:00, take your table, get the 1-day weather forecast, keep those where wind_max_kmh ≥ 45, then send message to a channel in Slack and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Crane lifts stop above a wind limit, and finding out on site wastes a crew's morning. Three checks a day are enough to plan.

The time it saves

Every day at 06:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 5 minutes each time; it runs about 90 times a month, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
