+    Get a brief weather report
+    
+    @param   station:str    The station's International Civil Aviation Organization airport code
+    @return  :(sky:str, visiblity:(:int, :float)?, weather:list<str>)
+                            The sky condition, visiblity and weather. Sky condition values include
+                            ‘clear’, ‘mostly clear’, ‘overcast’, ‘partly cloudy’, ‘mostly cloudy’
+                            and ‘obscured’. The visibility consists of two parameters: the first
+                            on indicates the the visiblity is a upper bound if the value is -1,
+                            a lower bound if +1, and approximate if 0; the second parameter is the
+                            visibility in kilometers. If the visibility is unknown the value will
+                            be `None`. The weather is a list that can, and often is, empty.
