How do/can I use the information from Weather(Grabber) (I got it from importing a class in Greenfoot under the "Edit" menu)?

I do not really get the question -- you can use the information however you please.

What should the coding be for getting/using the information? Could you give an example?

There is an example use of it at the beginning of the Weather class.

How do I type in my country and city that the WeatherGrabber will recognize it, it just says String country and String city so I can make that string be equal to anything but then it won't work. Doing this: 
private WeatherGrabber weatherGrabber = new WeatherGrabber("Hello", "danpost");
won't work but there won't be any syntax errors, so what should I type in as my country and city (that will be recognized)?

This is what I got with the example in Weather: 
Exception in thread "Thread-63" java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not find weather information for Paris, France. Please check spelling or try another location

Here's WeatherQuery: 
import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)

/**
 * Write a description of class WeatherQuery here.
 * 
 * @author amjad
 * @version 2.0
 */
public class WeatherQuery extends Actor
{
    private Weather weather = new Weather("France", "Paris");
    /**
     * Act - do whatever the WeatherQuery wants to do. This method is called whenever
     * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment.
     */
    public void act() 
    {
        // Add your action code here.
        exampleMethod();
    }    

    public void exampleMethod()
    {
        double temperature = weather.getTemperature();
        String windDirection = weather.getWindDirection();
        int humidity = weather.getHumidity();

        //System.out.println("The current temperature in " + weather.getCity() + " is " + temperature + " degrees");
        setImage(new GreenfootImage("The current temperature in " + weather.getCity() + " is " + temperature + " degrees", 14, null, null));
    }
}
I'm not in Paris, but I copied the code out of Weather to see if it will work.

I got the same thing. It may be that all this discussion is for naught. Apparently, the link to the data is broken for some reason. Whether this is temporary or permanent, I cannot say.

At least it's not just me.
