When setting up for Weather Underground, is the password to be the account password or the Key in system device. I have everything seeming to be working except sending data to Weather Underground.

It’s the key, listed under my devices on WU, for that particular station.

If the number is negative, it will print a "-" in front of the number.

Despite looking through Python formatting pages from searches for Python
Formatting, I cannot see that there is a provision to force a "+" in
front of a number no matter what.

For example:

-23.7 is always given if negative,

45.2 is given but I'd like +45.2

Is there a formatting character to do this? I guess a long logical
string to determine if the value is greater than zero, then toggle to
print "+" if true, but that seems more than what I want to waste CPU
cycles. I was just hoping that some character had been assigned to
force a +.

You could play code golf and end up with something like:

&# 44-(Math.sqrt.(x^2)/x) x

44 is the ascii char for -

43 is the ascii char for +

x is your value

There's probably a syntax error in there. And it will absolutely fail with a division by 0. You didn't specify what you wanted for 0. Both -0 and +0 always seem weird to me. Don't get me started about 12:00pm.

I don't know why you want to save cycles in 2021 with a bit of logic, but I bet you could make something work like this with a little polish.

Just use the "+" format specifier:

$current.outTemp.format("%+.2f") will give something like

+22.12 for positive temperature

-22.12 for negative temperature
