TODO

• Implement some sort of caching mechanism. PyOWM does support caching, but it's a bit messy. It might be easier to implement it from scratch, perhaps with some sort of db like TinyDb which is already supported by leon.
• Implement pro functionality for OWM.
• Add more weather services and related (UV, pollution, sky events, etc.).
