I presume WeatherData.getData() should be going into some Data class that has multiple properties (using the , as a delimiter) instead of what OP is doing and just using the String

I mean, unless it's explicitly specified, one can still argue. For fun, that is. I did it a few times with stuff like using maps when the task said I couldn't use loops. Didn't really get into trouble since there was a proper solution ready as well.

Depends on what was the course about. If it's about computation, then sure. If it's about OOP or architecture design (this one I wouldn't expect, unfortunately, but would be nice if it was taught somewhere), then the point is not just to run something.
