Unable to gather weather Data

My application keeps on giving me an error that says "Could not construct a valid URL". does any one know how to fix this. This is my code: 

    let forecastService = ForecastService(APIKey: forecastAPIKey)
    forecastService.getForecast(coordinate.lat, long: coordinate.long) {
        (let currently) in
        if let currentWeather = currently {
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                if let temperature = currentWeather.temperature {
                    self.currentTemperatureLabel?.text = "\(temperature)º"
                }
                if let humidity = currentWeather.humidity {
                    self.currentHumidityLabel?.text = "\(humidity)%"
                }
                if let precipitation = currentWeather.precipProbability {
                    self.currentPrecipitationLabel?.text = "\(precipitation)"
                }


            }
        }
    }

Hey John, I'm not sure if I'll be able to answer your question but my advice would be to just check your coordinates in the ViewController file. I messed up earlier because I didn't add a forward slash after my API key.

Let me know what happens.

Tommy Choe i did this exact same thing with the trailing slash, spent ages looking through the code to find this.
