 Faktiskā has a fixed 13-position station configuration. On page entry the frontend calls `/api/query/latest-temperatures/<cities>`.

 ### Ūdens temperatūra
 
 Ūdens temperatūra is an independent fixed-template renderer. Its six ranges are currently manual editorial inputs rather than station-query results. A Latvian-named field configuration maps each water area to locked canvas coordinates. The workflow produces explicit 1920×1080 and 3840×1440 canvases and filenames; each size still requires comparison against newsroom output.
