Find a better weather site or allow for alternative weather sites. #115

Description

I saw that once, then it seemed to correct and I got actual Zürich. Maybe the code inside wttr is not call-to-call stable.

I found using the airline abbreviation ZRH works - or at least the result data seems to be for "Oberglatt" "Switzerland".

The wttr site only works off the place-name. That's the only reason the location field contains the placename. The latitude and longitude are use by the solar calculations, but not wttr. Perhaps it's time to find a weather sites that accepts coordinates instead of names and provide an alternative to wttr.

Wttr does seem to have other issues. It isn't always online. It is sometimes overloaded. It would also be good not to have to bother with place names.

Because I now use a light-meter, and no-one has raised an issue, I had not got around to improving this area. It's nice to get some feedback, thanks for taking the time to report this and work through it with me.
