For a simple report like this, you want "ToDate" generation (as opposed to
summaries by month or year, like the NOAA reports). So, you need to tuck
your addition under [[ToDate]] and add one more set of brackets. It will
look like:

[[ToDate]]

    ... (other templates)

    [[[temp.txt]]]
        # Report that makes current outTemp available to other program
        encoding = strict_ascii
        template = temp.txt.tmpl

-tk
