## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — returns 402 if USDC payment on Base is not attached
- No data available — IMD may not have issued a fresh bulletin
- Malformed response if IMD source is temporarily unavailable
- Empty highlights array if monsoon season is inactive (off-season months)
