Summary
Azure Functions and Twilio SMS are used together to send text messages with daily weather forecasts, specifically asking if it will rain that day. The code uses environment variables for Twilio credentials, a Timer template to run once per day, and an HttpClient to fetch the weather forecast from a website. The HtmlAgilityPack library is used to parse the HTML response and extract the relevant information. The code then sends a text message with both the question and answer.
