The Datapoint API gives you the lat/lon of each forecast / observation
location. Assuming you have the user's lat/lon, you'll need to
calculate which forecast / observation location is the nearest to the
user. You probably want to look at using the Haversine formula for this.

It's also worth bearing in mind that other weather APIs exist and might be more practical in some cases. For example https://developer.forecast.io/docs/v2
