Swift Weather App: alternative weather api

After finishing the Swift Weather App course I've been playing with using alternative weather api's. I have been able to go through the course again with the alternative api but have stumbled when creating the Current.swift file.

The api that I am using has nested json. In the current course using the forecast.io api you can use the following line when declaring currentWeather in the Current.swift file:

let currentWeather = weatherDictionary["currently"] as NSDictionary

How would you declare currentWeather if you need to access nested JSON for current weather data? Here is what I tried:

let currentWeather = weatherDictionary["response"]["responses"]["response"]["ob"] as NSDictionary

Thank you for any help you can give.
