refreshControl 

@IBAction func refreshWeather() {
        retrieveWeatherForecast()
        refreshControl?.endRefreshing()
}

To my understanding in this case the refreshControl does not wait for retrieveWeatherForcast() to finish. The animation will stop immediately even if the request takes some seconds, right?

Yes. The call to endRefreshing() should be inside the closure, after the end of network operation.

Remove it from refreshWeather() and just add self.refreshControl?.endRefreshing() (don't forget the self) after self.tableView.reloadData() in the method retrieveWeatherForescast(). This is the correct implementation.

Thought the same thing. I think it's a better implementation to call refreshControl?.endRefreshing() at the end of the retrieveWeatherForecast method.
