Weather Anomaly - AI-Powered Shipping Weather Anomaly Alerts
v1.0.0Magento 2 AI-Powered Shipping Weather Anomaly Alerts
Proactively analyze delivery route weather conditions post-checkout and notify customers of potential shipping delays before they contact support.
Asynchronous Route Intelligence (Zero Checkout Impact)
The module captures orders asynchronously via RabbitMQ, fetching geocoded coordinates and route weather data in the background. It turns potential shipping delays caused by severe weather (snowstorms, hail, severe thunderstorms) into proactive customer trust without adding a single millisecond of latency to the checkout flow.
System Features & Operations
Asynchronous Processing & API Quota Guard
Background execution via RabbitMQ ensures zero checkout slowdown. Built-in database coordinate caching (weather_location_coordinates) and a strict 24-hour rate limit guard per order eliminate unnecessary API calls and prevent quota waste.
AI Reassurance & Soft Dependency (AiCore)
Integrates softly with WebtechSolutions_AiCore. Technical WMO weather codes pass through OpenAI to generate empathetic, locale-aware customer notifications. If AiCore is disabled or not installed, the module gracefully falls back to structured raw weather text.
Customer Frontend Display & Hyvä Native UI
Displays dynamic weather status banners (amber warning for anomalies, green status for clear weather) directly on My Account → Order View. Includes the companion WebtechSolutions_WeatherAnomalyHyva module for zero-overhead Tailwind CSS rendering on Hyvä Themes.
💡 Automatic Coordinate & Rate Limit Caching: Geocoded coordinates are cached locally in the database per postcode/city combination, and orders are checked at most once every 24 hours to guarantee minimal resource footprint!

Customer flow
- The customer places an order — the checkout process remains fast and unaffected
- In the background, the module retrieves the shipping address coordinates and fetches current weather data from Open-Meteo
- If an anomaly is detected (storm, heavy snow, hail, etc.), the message optionally passes through AI formatting
- The result is saved to the order record
- The customer sees the notification on My Orders → Order View
