+### Provider vs Renderer Responsibilities
+
+**Weather Provider responsibilities:**
+- Fetch raw weather data from external APIs
+- Parse API responses into structured types
+- **Perform timezone conversions once at ingestion time**
+- Group forecast data by local date (not UTC date)
+- Store both UTC time and local time in forecast data
+- Return data in a timezone-agnostic format ready for rendering
+
+**Renderer responsibilities:**
+- Format weather data for display (ANSI, plain text, JSON, etc.)
+- Select appropriate hourly forecasts for display (morning/noon/evening/night)
+- Apply unit conversions (metric/imperial) based on user preferences
+- Handle partial days with missing data (render empty slots)
+- Format dates and times for human readability
+- **Should NOT perform timezone calculations** - use pre-calculated local times from provider
+
+**Key principle:** Timezone conversions are expensive and error-prone. They should happen once at the provider level, not repeatedly at the renderer level. This separation ensures consistent behavior across all output formats and simplifies the rendering logic.
+
+**Implementation details:**
+- Core data structures use `zeit.Time` and `zeit.Date` types instead of strings for type safety
+- `HourlyForecast` contains both `time: zeit.Time` (UTC) and `local_time: zeit.Time` (pre-calculated)
+- `ForecastDay.date` is `zeit.Date` (not string), eliminating parsing/formatting overhead
+- The `MetNo` provider uses a pre-computed timezone offset lookup table (360 entries covering global coordinates)
+- Date formatting uses `zeit.Time.gofmt()` with Go-style format strings (e.g., "Mon _2 Jan")
+- Timezone offset table provides ±1-2.5 hour accuracy at extreme latitudes, sufficient for forecast grouping
+
+**Benefits of zeit integration:**
+- Type safety prevents format string errors and invalid date/time operations
+- Explicit timezone handling - no implicit UTC assumptions
+- Eliminates redundant string parsing and formatting
+- Enables proper date arithmetic (e.g., `instant.add(duration)`, `instant.subtract(duration)`)
+- Consistent date/time representation across all modules

+# Scripts
+
+## generate_timezone_table.py
+
+Generates `src/location/timezone_offsets.zig` with a lookup table mapping longitude to timezone offset.
+
+**How it works:**
+- Samples 360 longitudes (-180° to 179°) at 3 latitudes (0°, 30°N, 30°S)
+- For each longitude, queries `timezonefinder` library for timezone at each latitude
+- Uses the most common timezone offset across the 3 latitudes (handles political boundaries like China)
+- Generates a `[360]i16` array with offsets in minutes from UTC
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+./scripts/generate_timezone_table.py
+```
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Uses `uv` with inline script dependencies (no manual installation needed)
+- Takes ~10-20 seconds to generate
+
+**Accuracy:**
+- Works well for mid-latitudes (±30°) where most population lives
+- Can be off by 1-2.5 hours at extreme latitudes (e.g., Russia vs Australia at same longitude)
+- Acceptable for "morning/afternoon/evening/night" weather labels
+- If higher accuracy is needed, modify `getTimezoneOffset()` to use latitude
+
+**Why this approach:**
+- O(1) lookup, no complex calculations at runtime
+- Handles political boundaries (e.g., China's UTC+8 across all longitudes)
+- Simple to regenerate with different latitude samples if needed
+- API accepts `Coordinates` (not just longitude) for future improvements
