DarkSky (or other) weather with precipitation probability

It seems, there is a very specific pick of available attributes here:

home-assistant/core/blob/15bedd8f2797515eb086c61e9fd31e7afc096403/homeassistant/components/darksky/weather.py#L185


# forecasted precipitation, you have to multiple the intensity by
# the hours for the forecast interval
def calc_precipitation(intensity, hours):
    amount = None
    if intensity is not None:
        amount = round((intensity * hours), 1)
    return amount if amount > 0 else None

data = None

if self._mode == "daily":
    data = [
        {
            ATTR_FORECAST_TIME: utc_from_timestamp(
                entry.d.get("time")
            ).isoformat(),
            ATTR_FORECAST_TEMP: entry.d.get("temperatureHigh"),
            ATTR_FORECAST_TEMP_LOW: entry.d.get("temperatureLow"),
            ATTR_FORECAST_PRECIPITATION: calc_precipitation(
                entry.d.get("precipIntensity"), 24
            ),

I would like to have a forecast containing the following fields:

icon
temperature
precipitation probability
precipitation intensity
wind speed

This, because I tend to rely on the two precipitation values, both. That is, if intensity is veeery much but probability is low, I will still go out of the house. While at low intensity and high probability I might plan things inside.

I know, this can be done with sensors. But I don’t want too many entities just for the weather report.

So, my question: Is there a reason, that the DarkSky weather component does not provide all available data in its attributes? And has anyone an idea of how to circumvent this?

Note: There is a feature request for that already. Let’s discuss there…
