Purpose of currentWeather class.

So I have gone a bit further in the series but have come back to clear up some confusions. The currentWeather class (later renamed to current) is confusing me. I am not fully understanding its function. Could somebody clear this up for me in a bit more detail?

Hi Erik,

From memory, the Current class is used to create a single instance of itself to hold the forecast data for the present time. This is held in the Forecast class as a member variable of that class.

Similar classes, such as Hour or Day are also generated and similarly held in the Forecast class. Due to their nature, those class instances are stored in arrays of instances.

Which bit of the Current class is concerning you?

Steve.
