This is a quick modified version of the original weather module to include new metoffice datahub api and to use node_helper to work around CORS issues

Weather Module

Original description from : https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/weather

This module is aimed to be the replacement for the current currentweather and weatherforcast modules. The module will be configurable to be used as a current weather view, or to show the forecast. This way the module can be used twice to fullfil both purposes.

For configuration options, please check the MagicMirror² documentation.
