This looks like an SSL error, but I can visit that page with
MirBSD (old OpenSSL, older lynx), Debian wheezy, jessie and sid
(GnuTLS, various ages of lynx).
My guesses are:
• CA certificates not set up? (Did you install ca-certificates?
Does /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt exist and ship the
relevant root certificate?)
• SSL client configuration somehow broken (no idea how, though)
• You’re firewalled so no connection to the server opens
What happens if you run (install netcat-openbsd and openssl first):
$ nc -v braille.wunderground.com 443
$ openssl s_client -CApath /etc/ssl/certs -connect braille.wunderground.com:443
bye,
//mirabilos

(gnutls can also be used, but if you are compiling lynx for your own use,
there is no reason to consider using that package)
