A Slack bot that sends daily weather updates.

I just got an idea. I saw Slack’s Modal feature, and I think using it could make the bot cleaner and more interesting.
Here’s the official documentation: https://docs.slack.dev/surfaces/modals/

Added automatic fallback model support! If a model goes down or becomes unavailable, the bot seamlessly switches to a backup model to keep things running. I also tested and picked better default models, so the overall experience is now much more stable.
Added usage statistics so I can better monitor service health and know when it’s time to scale resources.
Based on feedback, I added support for another weather provider. Use /asachan-setsource to switch providers and get more reliable weather data, especially outside East Asia.

Known Issues
- Weather reports may be inaccurate in some regions outside East Asia due to limitations of the current weather data provider.
- I am actively looking for a better weather provider to improve global coverage and accuracy.

I found out that the weather report is not accurate outside East Asia. I think this is due to the weather information provider I’m currently using.
I’m looking for a better provider. If you know any good alternatives, please let me know!
