Visualize current weather

[jasonkuhrt]

When fetching weather data one of the fields is currently. Other fields contain multiple periods in the future so these are more complex and should be tackled later.

The current weather datum is called a data-point and is documented here. It looks like:

"currently":{
      "time":1458087500,
      "summary":"Light Rain",
      "icon":"rain",
      "nearestStormDistance":0,
      "precipIntensity":0.0096,
      "precipIntensityError":0.0001,
      "precipProbability":1,
      "precipType":"rain",
      "temperature":38.8,
      "apparentTemperature":34.69,
      "dewPoint":37.07,
      "humidity":0.93,
      "windSpeed":5.48,
      "windBearing":13,
      "visibility":8.67,
      "cloudCover":1,
      "pressure":1011.86,
      "ozone":330.43
   }

An interface should be designed before diving into the code. A combination of Monodraw and Sketch might do the trick, or perhaps just Monodraw even.

• [x] Find out what all the possible weather types are

  • [x] clear-day
  • [ ] clear-night
  • [x] rain
  • [x] snow
  • [ ] sleet
  • [ ] wind
  • [x] fog
  • [x] cloudy
  • [x] partly-cloudy-day
  • [ ] partly-cloudy-night
• [ ] Design a layout for displaying the weather of one time period

The possible types of weather are:

• clear-day
• clear-night
• rain
• snow
• sleet
• wind
• fog
• cloudy
• partly-cloudy-day
• partly-cloudy-night

There needs to be a default too, because the API may add more types in the future like "tornado"

This project and this issue have drifted making this issue unclear.
