Heatwave ahead: story pitches for the editors

What it does

Every morning in summer: the cities in your region expecting the hottest days this week, with the highest temperatures, turned by xMap AI into three story pitches for the morning editorial meeting.

In one sentence: Every day at 06:00, in Athens, Rome and 2 more, get the 5-day weather forecast, sort them by temp_max and keep the top 4, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Heatwaves are a story every summer. Editors get the facts and three angles before the morning meeting.

The time it saves

Every day at 06:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 30 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 15 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
