=head1 NAME

Weather::Com::Forecast - class representing all available weather 
forecasts for one location

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  [...]
    
  my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');

  my $forecast = $locations[0]->forecast();
  my $tomorrow = $forecast->day(1);

  print "Forecast for tomorrow:\n";
  print " - tomorrow it's the ", $tomorrow->date()->date(), "\n";  
  print " - sunrise will be at ", $tomorrow->sunrise()->time(), "\n";  
  print " - maximum temperature will be ", $tomorrow->high(), "\n";  

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Using I<Weather::Com::Forecast> objects is the way to access weather 
forecast information for one specific location (city) and 0 (today) to
9 days in the future.

Each time you call the I<Weather::Com::Location> objects' C<forecast()>
method, you'll get an updated I<Weather::Com::Forecast> object. This 
object is used to access the 10 I<Weather::Com::DayForecast> objects
containing the actual data.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=head2 new(hash or hashref)

You usually would not construct an object of this class yourself. 
This is implicitely done when you call the C<forecast()> method of 
a I<Weather::Com::Location> object.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 all() 

Returns an arrayref of all I<Weather::Com::DayForecast> objects if called
in scalar context, an array if called in list context.

=head2 day(day number)

Returns the I<Weather::Com::DayForecast> object that corresponds to the day
number you provided. 

The day number can be any number between 0 and 9.

Day 0 is usually I<today>. Due to a bug (I think it is one) in the I<weather.com>
XOAP API, you may get the full forecast data of I<yesterday> if you call for
day 0 just after midnight. I think this may have do something with the timezone.
I have not fully investigated this issue, yet. Please contact me, if you have!
