This class can retrieve weather information from WeatherStack API.

It can send HTTP requests to the WeatherStack API Web server to retrieve several types of details about the weather of a location.

Currently it can return the current date weather information, historical weather information for past dates, weather forecast for future dates, and autocomplete the names of locations for which the weather is available.

Number 3		 Weather information is useful to know what is the expected weather for a region in a future date so people can get prepared.

However, in some cases it is also useful to know what was the weather of that region in a past date.

This class can provide past weather information using the WeatherStack API.
