description	Weather pattern interpretation and heat wave trigger detection for Polar Mart promotions

Weather Analysis Skill

When to Use

• User mentions weather conditions (hot, cold, heat wave, etc.)
• Need to determine if weather triggers a promotion
• Analyzing regional weather patterns

Temperature Thresholds

Condition	Temperature	Action
Heat Wave Trigger	>95°F sustained	IMMEDIATE PROMOTION - Cold drinks priority
Hot Day	90-95°F	Standard cold beverage promotion
Warm Day	80-89°F	Light promotion, no urgency
Cool/Cold	<80°F	No cold drink promotion

Regional Considerations

Arizona (Phoenix, Tucson)

• Heat waves common May-September
• Morning promotions effective (6-10 AM commuters)
• Peak heat 2-6 PM → afternoon surge opportunity

Texas (Dallas, Houston, El Paso)

• High humidity factor (feels hotter)
• Consider "feels like" temperature, not just actual
• Gulf coast stores: hurricane season affects patterns

New Mexico (Albuquerque)

• Dry heat, lower humidity
• Elevation affects temperature perception
• Strong morning/evening temperature swings

Decision Rules

IF temperature > 95°F FOR 2+ days THEN
  → Trigger heat wave campaign
  → Priority: Electrolyte water, Iced beverages
  → Urgency: Deploy within 24 hours

IF temperature 90-95°F THEN
  → Standard promotion schedule
  → All cold drinks eligible
  → Standard 48-72 hour planning window

IF temperature < 90°F THEN
  → No weather-triggered cold drink promotion
  → Consider other triggers (events, holidays)

Historical Performance

• Heat waves historically drive 40% lift in cold drink sales
• Electrolyte water +65% during extreme heat
• Iced coffee +35% during morning heat waves
