For those of us who use metric

Here's a little tip for those of us who use metric instead of imperial for the weather app.

Change your "forecastURL" string to:

String forecastUrl = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/" + apiKey + "/" + latitude + "," + longitude + "?units=si";

And this will return the metric versions of the forecast data which you then parse into the JSONObject as normal.
