I cannot find the way to solve this. I'll appreciate any advice / suggestion. Please help!

weather.js
$(document).ready(function() {
  var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather';
  var data = {
    q : "Portland,OR",
    units : "metric"
  };
  function showWeather(weatherReport){
   $("#temperature").text();
  }

 var temp = weatherReport.main.temp;


});

The text() method, if you pass in an argument, sets the text of the element to the value you pass in. Something like this:

$('#temperature').text(weatherReport.main.temp);
