#2124 is adding a new function to estimate wind speed at different heights. In the PR there's a discussion about whether adding a new wind module makes sense given that we aren't sure there'll ever be more wind functions. @cwhanse brought up the idea of adding it to the temperature module (#2124 (comment)). Personally, I don't think adding it to the temperature module is a great fit either, as this would change the scope of this module significantly.

Therefore, as a compromise, I suggest creating a new module named weather, that can host functions related to, you guessed it, weather (e.g., humidity, wind speed, pressure). The temperature module can then be reserved for functions related specifically to module temperature, which I think was its original purpose (the documentation title is "PV temperature models").

A potential new weather module would also be a great fit for #1744. Last, I could easily imagine other weather-related models being added in the future (and we avoid having modules named humidity, wind, pressure, etc.).
