I am also using MQTT realtime data - my Belchertown skin continues to show 24%. The my Standard skin also shows 24% for me. As I'm in the US, I am using US for the units. As I mentioned earlier I ran pip install pyephem, then stopped and started weewx.
Also, I'm running weewx on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It's got the latest version of Raspbian and weewx 3.8.2. For what it's worth I had previously installed ephem (not pyephem) with pip install ephem. I was obviously confused about the two (still am, I guess). But after Thomas said to install pyephem and you indicated success when doing that, I installed that package.
