Short answer, when using the inbuilt FORMAT strings - no. Long answer - see the templates - which are lacking instruction but follow standard weewx methods - I believe.
Despite being the author / maintainer of weewx-mastodon I had to go back and check on the code. It gets its units directly from the raw data, the archive values. day.rain.sum is generated at a later stage of the weewx cycle by the StdReport engine. If however you use the template method, whereby you generate a StdReport in your skins DATA directory - eg:- skins/Seasons/DATA/mastodon.txt.tmpl then you should be able to do what you are asking. It's been a long while since I've looked at it, but I believe that will do it . The README notes for 24th Jan 2023 v0.04 outline one hiccup when testing the templates but it should be straight forward. Use the default as is then start tweaking it.
