Method undefined for type?

I'm doing a weather processor assignment for my computer science class, and I'm having some trouble with a piece of the code. I'm not sure how to approach the issue, so any help would be great. Here is my code:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class Info {

    Object data;
    String weatherRecord[][][] = new String[0][0][0];
    int index = 0;
    int HIGHS, LOWS, WIND, GUST, PRECIP;

    public void weatherData () {
        data = data;
    }

    final String[] locationNames = {"Eagle, NE", "New York, NY", "Houston, TX", "Los Angeles, CA"};
    final int[] monthLength = {31, 29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; 

    {
        for (int i = 0; i < weatherRecord.length; i++) {
            GregorianCalendar dateInfo = new GregorianCalendar(2008, 0, 1);
            System.out.println((dateInfo.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1)+ "/" +
                        dateInfo.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)+ "/" +
                        dateInfo.get(Calendar.YEAR));
            for (int j = 0; j < weatherRecord[i].length; j++) {
                for (int k = 0; k < monthLength[j]; k++) {

                    weatherRecord[i][j][k] = new weatherData();
                    weatherRecord[i][j][k].setLocation(locationNames[i]);
                    weatherRecord[i][j][k].setDate((GregorianCalendar) dateInfo.clone());
                    weatherRecord[i][j][k].setHighTemp(data.getHIGHS(index));
                    weatherRecord[i][j][k].setLowTemp(data.getLOWS(index));
                    weatherRecord[i][j][k].setWind(data.getWIND(index));
                    weatherRecord[i][j][k].setGust(data.getGUST(index));
                    weatherRecord[i][j][k].setPrecip(data.getPRECIP(index));
                    index++;
                    dateInfo.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
                }

                System.out.println((dateInfo.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1) + "/" +
                            dateInfo.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "/" +
                            dateInfo.get(Calendar.YEAR));
            }
        }
    }   

    private int setLocation(String string) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }
}

The part I'm having the trouble with is the data.getHIGHS/LOWS/etc, it tells me that the getHIGHS method is undefined for the type Object. Where am I going wrong? I have another class that has the getters for the methods in this code.

The error message means simple that the Object class has no method called getHIGHS, at least not the java.lang.Object

Doc: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html

It could be possible that you are using some kind of lib that has an Object class, then you have to import that package....

But I will suggest to take a look at the documentation if you are using 3rd part libs.
