## Idea

A service that:

+ Recieve an email containing requested coordinates, and optionally elevation.

+ Return an email with a text description 160 characters with the forecast.

+ Ideally use the ECMWF forecast model

  + https://github.com/open-meteo/open-meteo 

+ Compensate reported temperature using altitude

  + https://www.opentopodata.org/datasets/aster/ Global 30m resolution

  + https://www.opentopodata.org/datasets/nzdem/ NZ 8m resolution (probably want to use another API to determine whether we are inside New Zealand? Or check inside a bounding box first)

+ Use a persistent queue for message processing robustness
