Heavy rain by district, for the live news desk
Where the heaviest rain is coming, hour by hour, for the live desk.
What it does
Every hour on rainy days: the hour-by-hour rain forecast for your city’s districts, the ones expecting the most rain first, sent to the live desk on WhatsApp so crews can be ready.
In one sentence: Every hour at :00, in Mumbai and Pune, get the 1-day weather forecast, sort them by rain_mm and keep the top 6, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Crews in the right place get the pictures and keep people informed. The desk knows where the rain will hit before it does.
