There may be other ways, but use tags. This is the approach I've taken with weewx-mastodon.
Using weewx tags ( https://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Tags) in a template will generate the desired text output. You would however need to modify the twitter extension to post the output from a weewx generated template. (see below) eg:- template (snippet)... #Weather summary for Yesterday ($yesterday.dateTime.format("%A %d-%b-%Y")) at $station.location, Australia: \n Temp: (min: $yesterday.outTemp.min at $yesterday.outTemp.mintime) (max: $yesterday.outTemp.max at $yesterday.outTemp.maxtime) will generate the following text... #Weather summary for Yesterday (Monday 23-Jan-2023) at Messmate Farm, Broomfield, Victoria, Australia: \n Temp: (min: 11.6C at 06:35:01) (max: 35.1C at 16:46:02) https://github.com/glennmckechnie/weewx-mastodon If you're familiar with python it should offer a few hints ho w to post the template rather than the hardcoded format string, especially as it's a fork of Mathews weewx-twitter extension. I haven't incoporated the summary in weewx-mastodon - yet. It was on the mental ToDo list, but it would only need a timing section and some selection magic.
