Philip, interestingly although at one stage I did see the 34% value I reported it then changed to the 24% that you have (and I did have) - not sure what that's about.
I did nothing other than installing, restarting Weewx and waiting an archive period In terms of difference between your site and mine (both running Belchertown skins) I have metric set and am using the mqtt real-time update system. I have no idea if either of those is pertinent or if the Moon data is even included in the real-time data.
