Weather Q&A Site

Ask "how cold was last night" or "when will it rain next" instead of digging through charts

Problem
Existing weather sites make users dig for answers and often only show the forecast, leaving recent past weather impossible to find. What people actually want is a quick answer to questions like how cold it got last night, when rain arrives after fertilizing, or whether today is unusually cold for the season.
Solution
A question-centric weather site: pick or type a common question and get a one-line answer plus a mini trend chart, with recent days of historical observations included so users don't have to visit multiple pages.
Users
Everyday users with concrete weather decisions, like gardeners, small farmers, outdoor workers and commuters
MVP
Preset question templates (last night's low, next rain, unusual cold/warm, last 7 days history); integrate public forecast and historical observation APIs; one-line answer plus a mini trend chart; save favorite locations; mobile-first;
Revenue
Free basic queries; subscription for multiple locations, alerts and longer history; or affiliate deals with gardening and agri brands
Why now
Public weather and historical APIs are mature and cheap, LLMs make natural-language Q&A nearly free, and mainstream weather apps still pile on charts, leaving room for niche Q&A.
