C is Celsius and F is Fahrenheit. You would take the temperature from forecast.io (which is in Fahrenheit) and then substitute into the formula. Something like this:

You make temperature optional with ? in the declaration

add this in the init function:

    let fahrenheit = currentWeather["temperature"] as Int
    temperature = convertToCelsius(fahrenheit)

add this function to convert it:

func convertToCelsius(fahrenheit: Int) -> Int {
    return Int(5.0 / 9.0 * (Double(fahrenheit) - 32.0))
}

It looks like forecast.io only return the temperature in Fahrenheit. You can convert in the Current struct with this formula:

C = 5/9 * (F-32)
