Not every inbox wants a midday pulse. Meridian separates calm digests from threshold-driven alerts so you can subscribe for a weekly summary without signing up for storm theatre every afternoon.
Digests gather a short outlook for places you follow. Alerts fire when configured conditions — rain, wind, temperature bands — cross lines you care about, using the same evaluation path as the admin weather-check cron.
Free-tier email providers have send ceilings. Templates stay lightweight, shortcodes fill location-specific weather vars, and connectors are managed from the admin email panel so demos can swap SMTP or API keys without rewriting product pages.
Unsubscribe and preference honesty matter as much as the content: if alerts feel noisy, lower thresholds or pause the mailing list rather than abandoning the product.
