Linking and the companion file
The home page of weather.com does not link the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens. No llms-full.txt was found at the same root.
How it compares
At 8.9 KB the file is larger than 55 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 78 links put it ahead of 73 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 2 to 10 KB. Tranco rank 232. Category: News & Intelligence.
Why it is in the index: News and weather publisher file. Owner as listed: Weather.com.
