Read the messages: some of them are very significant.

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

So follow the link, and see exactly what it says ...

这个解决方案确实有效，但由于本人时常粗心大意，因此提供一个无脑的解决方案。
不是自己编写的代码的话，有一种可能——自己的浏览器驱动与代码中的驱动并不一致。
因此修改代码中的浏览器驱动即可。

weather_web = webdriver.Chrome()
