Describe the feature you'd like to see.
We need to migrate from DarkSky's weather API to another weather API before the end of 2021 to ensure the continued functionality of the weather command. DarkSky is shutting down their API at the end of 2021.

Suggestions for new weather APIs:

@RTByte/developers any thoughts around which API we should use?

Looks like OpenWeather have areally easy to follow migrating documentation off of DarkSky, I'd reckon that would be simply easiest to do

I'm leaning towards OpenWeather as well. Not only does their documentation seem like it's the clearest out of all of them, but their usage limits also seem very good.

We'll be using OpenWeather's One Call API to do this.

This has been implemented on the ts-rewrite branch and will be merged to master as part of the larger migration to Sapphire.

Implemented in 30812e9.
