+## Introduction
+There is an XML weather API accessible at `http://www.ilmateenistus.ee/ilma_andmed/xml/forecast.php?lang=eng`
+
+Build a Spring-Boot application consisting of at least two Maven modules.
+
+### Module 1 - background process:
+This module has to contain a scheduled method *(with the @Scheduled annotation)* that will consume the weather API and save the results in a PostgreSQL database.
+
+You can ignore any wind/sea data in the API result as this is not important to this task.
+
+The scheduled method should run every 30 minutes.
+
+The module should set up the database schema by itself on startup if one does not exist already. Assume that the application will have superuser access to a PostgreSQL database with the following properties:
+```
+Address: localhost:5432
+Database: weather
+Username: weather
+Password: weather
+```
+### Module 2 - web:
+This module should serve a simple web page.
+
+The web page should show the user the latest weather forecast *(read from the database)*.
 
+The user should be able to easily look up current weather for their location, by entering the name of the location in a search bar.
+
+Optionally, you can create a third module that would contain code and/or settings common to both applications, so that the two previously mentioned modules can re-use some of the same code.
+
+No limitations are set on the front-end framework, so use whatever framework you want and design the page however you see fit.
+
+The application has to use Maven as the build environment and should be easy to compile and run.
+
+After building the application, please send us the source code for evaluation *(or host it in a git repository)*. Also include a readme file with instructions on how to compile and run the application.
