In the SmileWeatherDataDownloadCompletion block, SmileWeatherData is returned, it contains the current weather data, 4 days forecast data, 24 hourly forecast data, etc.

[[SmileWeatherDownLoader sharedDownloader] getWeatherDataFromPlacemark:placemark completion:^(SmileWeatherData *data, NSError *error) {
        if (!error) {
            NSLog(@"Current Temperature, Celsius : %@, Fahrenheit: %@", data.currentData.currentTempStri_Celsius, data.currentData.currentTempStri_Fahrenheit);
        }
