Description

Simple weather forecast informer. Will send a notification if weather conditions are met.

Call meteo.lt API to get weather data (Don't abuse their API, they have 20k daily limit. 24 requests per day should be more than enough)
- Save data to database
Run periodic worker which checks if data matches specified conditions
- Ex: if it will rain today – send a notification
  - Email
  - Telegram bot
Telegram API to ask about current conditions or forecast
- . Will return a list of options to choose from.
  - Kada lis?, which returns nearest rain forecast
  - Atnaujink duomenis, which will update data
