Currently we use SMHI to get prognosis and weather conditions.
This issue involves researching what else we could get from SMHI that would be of intrest.
If there is no other interesting data then that is the conclusion otherwise make a list of the data you believe we want.

What I found interesting

Warning- Data

Warning data api provides weather warning with ( Red, orange , yellow message.
Event types such as thunder, snow, wind, rain , ice and high temperatures. I think it would be useful in the app.
Affected ares etc.
Could be implemented with additional hook similar to what we already have.

Additional

Relative humidity to provide a more completed picture of the current weather conditions.
Air pressure which is used in a lot of weather apps.
Wind gusts which could be complemented during severe weather.
Precipitation intensity could be good because it could show how heavy rain or snowfall there is.

But warning data appears to provide the highest additional value since it would integrate good with the current forecast functionality.

Review

The research has identified warning-data as the most valuable addition and that I can agree with and it can work together with our already existing SMHI cards. The information is clear and aligns well with our current cards. And the description of the severity level (red, orange, yellow), event types and the affected area is relevant and makes it easier to understand how it would fit into our current system.

The other suggestions for additions are all valid parameters and could complement our already existing cards, however they are just presented at a high level so its hard to see how they would be used, in that regard it might be beneficial to go a little more into detail.

Overall the research is good and have pointed out some important additions. and the current research is good if we are to only add the warning-data but if we are to implement others it might need some additional information.
