Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Covers Sri Lanka only, although ENTRY regions say Global · Data is text chunks extracted from PDF reports, so numeric values need parsing and are not stored as structured fields · Chunk text includes Sinhala and Tamil while the lang field is 'en' · Chunks can start or end mid-sentence and some overlap between chunks · No licence stated, so reuse terms are unclear · Depends on upstream publication by dmc.gov.lk; no update schedule or maintenance commitment stated · Forecast text, not observed rainfall or river data
