Retrieve weather given location/date in MIAPPE metadata #307

It would be nice to automatically load weather data from Open Weather Map for location/date combinations documented via MIAPPE. We could autofill weather conditions as environmental context parameters once the user has provided both date range and location for a given study or data object.

What if the study takes place over an extended period? Do we average over the weather data somehow? Or only do this for single-day (or briefer) context, e.g., date of harvest?

(This would likely only be relevant for outdoor experiments, not greenhouse?)
