Then you can pull out the nearest “forecast” as the current weather into attributes of a sensor, and one example of pulling out one of those attributes into a sensor state:
template:
- sensor:
- name: Current weather
state: >
{% set tsl = state_attr('sensor.datahub_hourly','timeSeries')|map(attribute='time')|map('as_timestamp')|list %}
{% set ts = tsl|select('>=',(now()-timedelta(minutes=30))|as_timestamp())|first %}
{{ tsl.index(ts) }}
attributes:
status: "{{ state_attr('sensor.datahub_hourly','timeSeries')[this.state|int(0)] }}"
- sensor:
- name: Wind speed
state: "{{ state_attr('sensor.current_weather','status')['windSpeed10m'] }}"
unit_of_measurement: 'm/s'
device_class: wind_speed
attributes:
timestamp: "{{ state_attr('sensor.current_weather','status')['time'] }}"
The state of sensor.current_weather is the index of the forecast block in the hourly Datahub sensor timeSeries list that is closest to the current time.

This doesn’t provide a weather object, though. Perhaps I need to learn how to create an integration.
