So I built ClimaIQ — 15 endpoints that turn weather into actionable decisions. Instead of raw data, you get actionable insights: Logistics: "Delay departure by 3 hours for safer conditions." (risk score: 67/100) EV Trip: "Cold weather reduces range by 23%. Plan 2 charging stops." Agriculture: "Apply 18.5mm of water now. High evapotranspiration detected." Solar: "20.6 kWh expected today. Payback in 6.7 years. 51% ROI." See it in action (JSON Response) Since we are developers, here is what a typical response looks like: json { "recommendation": "Delay departure by 3 hours", "risk_score": 67, "reason": "High wind gusts and heavy rain on route", "impact_metrics": { "ev_range_reduction": "23%", "solar_yield_kwh": 20.6 } } Features include: Plain English summaries: Get readable labels like "Overcast, feeling cold at 10°". Safety advice: UV index and Air Quality with spe
