Just to close the loop on this one, Tom requested that I create an extension rather than a PR toward weewx itself. Adding stuff to weewx itself makes it less wee :-)
It's definitely a niche case, but if anybody has interest in posting in Weather Underground format to a second site see (github link) <https://github.com/vinceskahan/weewx-wundergroundlike> for the extension. I added it to the wiki as well. On Thursday, November 13, 2025 at 4:05:58 PM UTC-8 Tom Keffer wrote: > Yes, that's true.
