An utility to scrape italian weather websites to collect and compare weather
information

## Usage

> **WARNING**  
> The script is configured to run on Nix, and because of this is more
> complicated than it needs to be. You can remove unnecessary stuff if you're
> not running this on nix

The scraper collects data and arranges in the following scheme

```json
{
    "today": {
        "[0..23]": {
            "temp": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "degrees",
                "description": "expected temperature at the given hour"
            },
            "prec": {

                "type": "string",
                "description": "weather code (sunny / cloudy / ...)"
            }

            },
            "prec": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "mm",
                "description": "expected precipitation at the given hour"
            },
            "code": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "weather code (sunny / cloudy / ...)"
            }
        }
    },
    "week": {
        "[0..6]": {
            "minTemp": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "degrees",
                "description": "minimum expected temperature for the day"
            },
            "maxTemp": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "degrees",
                "description": "maximum expected temperature for the day"
            },
            "totPrec": {
                "type": "number",
                "unitOfMeasurement": "mm",
                "description": "total expected precipitation for the day"
            },
            "code": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "weather code (sunny / cloudy / ...)"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

The keys for the `week` entry are intended as an offset from today. That is, the
object at `0` will be the results for today, the object at `1` will be the
results for tomorrow, and the object at `6` will be the results for 6 days from
now

### Sources

These are the sources that are currently implemented or will be implemented
eventually, together with the current level of implementation
