can't see what is wrong

I try to make it work but can't see why my first task is not going thru on this challenge and why the text method is not working

weather.js 
$(document).ready(function() {
  var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather';
  var data = {
    q : "Portland,OR",
    units : "metric"
  };
  function showWeather(weatherReport) {
    $('#temperature').text(weatherReport.main.temp);
  });
});
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>What's the Weather Like?</title>
  <script src="jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="weather.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="main">
    <h1>Current temperature: <span id="temperature"></span>&deg;</h1>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Your parentheses are out of balance.

You seem to have 1 more close parenthesis ")" than you have opens "(".

  function showWeather(weatherReport) {
    $('#temperature').text(weatherReport.main.temp);
  }  // removed ")" here, along with an extra ";"
