Than you very much!

You are also mixing
f-string and format().It can be done a easier with f-string,then there no need for fomat() at all.
id = 1000
location = 'fooooooooo'
max_temp = 40000.458545
min_temp = 1000.7895642
precipitation = 7575.45454
print(f'{id:d} : {location:.3} : {max_temp:.2f} / {min_temp:.2f} / {precipitation:.1f}')Output:1000 : foo : 40000.46 / 1000.79 / 7575.5id is a name used bye Python,so use something else eg temp_id = 1000.
