Description

The current version of the WeatherScrapper application doesn't work. Possibly due to changes to the www.wunderground.com site. I propose to update/fix the application implementing a solution using selenium. This update will make use of the existing code and expectations to acheieve a working solution.

Research direction

Locate the existing WeatherScrapper application and read its current expectations before checking how it interacts with www.wunderground.com. Compare that behavior with the site's current responses and use the existing expectations to define completion; the application should work again using the proposed Selenium-based approach.
