  var data = {
    q : "Portland,OR",
    units : "metric"
  };
  function showWeather(weatherReport) {
    $('#temperature').text(weatherReport.main.temp);

Ok. I've got it :) There was an error with the JSON function and placement of this function. Final code is:

$(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);

  }
  $.getJSON(weatherAPI, data, showWeather);  
});

Thanks. I actually made a mistake of passing the 3rd parameter - showWeather as showWeather(), hence my code didn't work.
