Whenever the coordinates are too remote for the API to return a city and country, the latitude and longitude should be used instead.

Add feature to cache city data for the configured API and use this cache to:

1. Create a validation set for the supported city names in Get-Weather.ps1
2. Quickly obtain the city code for the user's city name for unambiguous results. That is, if a user specifies a city name that describes multiple cities, the city code should be used.

OpenWeatherMaps API also supports 3 hour/5 day forecast with the free API key. Include a 5dForecast switch to display this report.

Module file uses a proxy function of Get-ChildItem with a -NoColor switch. Unless the user also has this proxy function loaded, the module cannot be imported/installed.

Usage

To set a timeout, run

Get-Weather -TimeOut 5

to time out in 5 seconds.

Issues

The Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet that this module utilizes does have a timeout parameter that can be leveraged, but DNS queries on the API endpoints may take longer to timeout than the user-defined timeout.

The weather report should show more than just maximum, minimum and current temperatures and it should be presented in a cleaner way.

In particular, information for the weather should be located in a table-like organization to the right of the weather icon instead of below it.

Get the weather report for the user's current location instead of a default city name by default.

Add a wind direction icon to the weather report. This icon may simply be cardinal and intercardinal directions (e.g. N, SW) or an arrow.

Issue

In some cases, the weather icon may not display. The weather report renders properly, but an ObjectNotFound exception is thrown for the Get-WeatherIcon function that is responsible for rendering the icon.

Investigation

1. Issue occurs over several build and revision versions of PS 5.1 and PS Core 6.2
2. If the module is removed Remove-Module makl.weather and reimported Import-Module makl.weather, a WriteErrorException is thrown and Get-WeatherIcon fails to import.

Some icons have more spacing than others between the weather report.

Experiment with adding a border around the entire weather report or certain elements (e.g. weather icon).
