So if ctl-C is being used to interrupt a script, the script must be being run from the command line; ctl-C will have no effect on scripts executed by cron. weectl import does not directly use threading, however, weectl import uses a number of WeeWX 'API' calls to do things (save data to database and calculate missing/derived obs are the two main ones). I would suggest this use of threading is possibly due to an xtype call when calculating missing/derived obs. weectl import does not 'load' any extensions per se; however, that is not to say that some other parts of WeeWX called by weectl import do not. Again an xtype being used to calculate missing/derived obs is an obvious candidate. I don't see the 'area 30 31' output being direct weectl import output, quite possibly it is output from some other extension.
To start tracking this down we need to go back to basics with log and config. What does the WeeWX log shown when weectl import is run? And what is in weewx.conf (and to a lesser extent) the import config file /etc/weewx/import/wu-example.conf.
