The Cheetah template for "Current Conditions" is the file
/etc/weewx/skins/Seasons.current.inc. When the processing of templates
occurs, it will get "included" into index.html.tmpl.
So, if you wanted to add the current conditions for a new type, say
something named 'myobs', to the bottom of the list of observations, you
would add the highlighted lines
...
#if $day.extraTemp3.has_data
<tr>
<td class="label">$obs.label.extraTemp3</td>
<td class="data">$current.extraTemp3</td>
</tr>
#end if
<tr>
<td class="label">My new observation</td>
<td class="data">$current.myobs
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
This assumes, of course, that the type 'myobs' exists in the database
and/or the archive record.
