This API will return historical weather data from metaweather for today's date given a Where On Earth ID

This API wraps the metaweather API and caches searches. Existing searches will be returned from the cache instead of hitting the metaweather API again.

A search consists of a WOEID. Today's date will be provided by the server.

The return object will be the weather for today's date up each year up to five years ago where possible. ("Most location have data from early 2013 to 5-10 days in the future." -https://www.metaweather.com/api/)
