Add ability to get weather at <timestamp> #8

We are interested in using WeatherAPI as the foundation of a weather-enrichment for Snowplow (https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/issues/456).

A showstopper requirement is the ability to get the weather at a specific timestamp. If we are (re-processing) 3 months of events from a mobile game, the current weather in a given location is a non-starter.

Would you be open to updating the API to support a provided timestamp? We would be happy to help integrate a provider that provides time-based weather.

Of course! Some details would need to be worked out about how to add that to provider selection, but I'm interested to see what you have in mind. Feel free to fork

Awesome, we will have a go at this.
