Predicting Holidays, Not Just Weather.

Because sometimes the most pressing weather question isn't about survival.

The Real Question

I previously built AerisIQ, an open-source on-device AI disaster management app. While critical for survival during extreme hazards, the reality is that most students checking the weather only care about one thing: "Are we getting a holiday tomorrow?"

The IMD Bottleneck

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) is the official trusted source the government uses to declare leaves. But they publish this vital data buried inside dense, legacy PDF tables. Have you ever tried zooming into a massive grid on your phone during a storm? It's terrible.

Automated Clarity

This dashboard is the solution. A backend engine silently downloads the public domain PDF, parses the exact color-coded tables, and a fast React frontend instantly visualizes it. It answers your most important question at a single glance.

A Separate Mission

To be entirely clear, this dashboard will not be included in AerisIQ. AerisIQ is built for serious situational awareness—knowing what to do and exactly how severe the weather is in your area. It is not an app for checking if you have school tomorrow. This dashboard exists separately to answer that specific, everyday question.

Your Feedback

I would love to hear what you think of this standalone app! Please drop me a review or any suggestions through the Contact page.
