You need to remove or escape all the whitespace in the JSON portion of the command. This is a common problem, which is why most of the examples in the aws dynamodb CLI tool docs show the use of a JSON file instead, like so:

aws dynamodb put-item --table-name weatherstation_data --item file://item.json --profile loadmin
