See this Comm Center thread by Peter Prendergast and Dick Post. Research the professionals and determine if there are some existing FITS keywords being used for weather, and use them if possible. Alternatively, Diffraction has defined several BOLTxxx keywords for Boltwood data. but these names seem inappropriate, and waste 4 characters on a brand name. If necessary make up new FITS keywords. Determine what items should be put there. Based on the ASCOM discussion of weather standard, the FITS header could inflate into a weather data archive.
