-## Local synthetic weather data
-
-The local database can be populated with deterministic hourly sample data for the repository station set plus Valmiera, which is required by the fixed Faktiskā template. The seed covers the previous 18 months through the current hour and can be run repeatedly without creating duplicates.
-
-```sh
-docker compose --profile tools run --rm seed
-```
-
-This workflow is intended only for development and UI testing. It uses the normal `weather` table and application APIs; it does not provide LVGMC forecast CSV or HARMONIE GRIB fixtures.
