Swift 3 My tableView is not populatinG?

Question

I am wondering why is my tableview not populating? I have a tableview inside my view controller and I have tried to follow the guide however, nothing seems to show up on my tableview.

here's my code

@IBOutlet weak var weatherTableView: UITableView!
var items: [String] = ["Sunny", "Cloudy", "Rainy"]


override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.weatherTableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "WeatherCell")
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return items.count
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell:UITableViewCell = self.weatherTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "WeatherCell")! as UITableViewCell
    cell.textLabel?.text = self.items[indexPath.row]

    return cell
}

am I missing something here?

Thanks for your help in advance

Make sure you are assigning tableview delegate and datasource throw storyboard or add below line into your viewDidLoad() of your viewcontroller (UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource)

   weatherTableView.delegate = self;
   weatherTableView.dataSource = self
