Migrate off the Open-Meteo weather API (Phases 0-4)
Steady-state usage of the Open-Meteo API is removed; it remains only as a dormant fallback. Geocoding -> local GeoNames + Nominatim; wind gusts -> Meteostat; history -> NASA POWER (curated cells seeded with keyless ERA5); recent+forecast -> NASA range + MET Norway. Plus a drift-check tool comparing NASA vs Open-Meteo. All keyless, no new infra. Backend suite green in-image (gate).

"""Wind-gust supplier via Meteostat's free, keyless bulk data.
The archive sources that back Thermograph when Open-Meteo is unavailable — NASA
POWER (history) and MET Norway (forecast) — carry no wind gusts, yet gust is a
graded metric. This module fills that gap: it finds the nearest Meteostat weather
station to a grid cell and reads its daily peak-gust record (``wpgt``) straight
from Meteostat's gzipped bulk endpoints (no API key, no per-query quota).
Where no station is within range — oceans, remote cells — it falls back to an
*estimate* from that day's sustained wind (``wind * GUST_FACTOR``). Note that a
constant factor makes an estimated gust move in lockstep with wind, so the gust
grade carries independent signal only where a real station backs it; estimation
just keeps the metric populated rather than leaving a hole.
Everything degrades safely: any station-lookup or fetch failure falls through to
estimation, so a Meteostat outage can never break a history fetch. Bulk files are
downloaded once and cached on disk (like the GeoNames dump), so steady-state
network IO is near zero.
Wired in at the NASA-POWER history path (data/climate.py); it activates for real
once NASA POWER becomes the primary history source. Open-Meteo already carries its
own gusts, so nothing here runs while Open-Meteo is primary.
