Template:Infobox weather event/Storm

Meteorological information

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This sub-box generates a meteorological information box specifically targeted towards any general storm. This is the general-use version of Template:Infobox weather event/meteorology, and is the most customizable.

|category= can be set to any valid storm category. It will, in turn, change the header color and text. If a category is set, the header can only be changed by |header=. The header style (which includes the background color) can be changed with |headerstyle=. To identify which scale and/or agency was used, supply the |scale= and/or |agency= parameters, respectively. To identify measurement interval (e.g. 10-minute, 3-minute), supply |interval= with the number of minutes. To override the text below the header entirely, use |subheader=.

If a category is not used, |type= may be used instead to refer to the type of meteorological event. The value of |type= will be used as the header text. Note that this will not show up if |category= is set.

The |basin= parameter can also be used to change the units; set it to atl or epac to switch the default units. To avoid units entirely, you may choose to pass text into the related values (e.g. pass {{convert|142|mph|kmh|abbr=on}}|winds= or |gusts=), but this makes later maintenance difficult, and is not advised.

This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/meteorology.

{{Infobox weather event/Storm | type = Flood | maximum-rain = 98 }}

Flood Maximum rainfall 98 cm (38.58 in)

{{Infobox weather event/Storm | type = Nor'easter | winds = 98 | gusts = 101 | maximum-rain = 42 }}

Nor'easter Highest winds 180 km/h (115 mph) Highest gusts 185 km/h (115 mph) Maximum rainfall 42 cm (16.54 in)

{{Infobox weather event/Storm | category = 3 | type = Gust <!-- Note how this will be missing --> | header = Puff of the Big Bad Wolf | scale = [[The Three Little Pigs]] | winds = 877 | gusts = 1042 }}

Puff of the Big Bad Wolf The Three Little Pigs Highest winds 1625 km/h (1010 mph) Highest gusts 1930 km/h (1200 mph)

TemplateData

A subbox for displaying meteorological information for a storm. Should be used adjacent to an 'Infobox weather event' template, and before an 'Infobox weather event/Footer' template.

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Child display?	child	Whether this is a child box or not. Use `yes`, unless you're using this box standalone. Default yes Example yes	Boolean	optional
Body style	bodystyle	Custom CSS for the box Default border-collapse: collapse	String	optional
Storm category	category	The storm category. This populates the header color and name automatically.	String	suggested
Basin	basin	Basin of the storm. Controls the name of the category, if the category supports basin-specific names. Suggested values atl epac satl wpac	String	optional
Header text	header	Header text to show. Overrides category name if provided.	Content	optional
Header style	header-style	Controls the style of the subbox header. This header usually includes the category of the storm or the storm type, if a category is not applicable. Default font-size: 100%; background-color: #{​{Storm colour|{​{​{category|}​}​}​}​}	String	optional
No header?	no-header	Disables the header row Default no Example yes	Boolean	optional
Subheader text	subheader	Subheader text to show. Overrides interval, scale, and agency, if provided.	Content	optional
Measurement interval	interval	The measurement interval used by the agency. e.g. JMA uses 10-minute, JTWC uses 1-minute. Example 1	Number	suggested
Post-interval text	post-interval postinterval	Text to add after "N-minute sustained". A space is automatically provided.	String	optional
Agency	agency	Agency issuing the meteorological data. If the agency uses multiple scales, or uses a scale that is used by multiple agencies, consider also supplying "scale". Example [[National Weather Service|NWS]]	Content	suggested
Scale	scale	Scale used to quantify the meteorological data. If the scale is used by multiple agencies, consider supplying "agency". Example [[Saffir–Simpson scale|SSHWS]]	Content	suggested
Maximum sustained winds	winds	The maximum sustained winds of a given storm. Not to be confused with maximum wind gusts (provided with "gusts"). Supply value in knots. Example 124	Number	suggested
Maximum winds prefix	winds-prefix	Prefix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Maximum winds suffix	winds-suffix	Suffix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Maximum wind gust	gusts	The maximum wind gust of a given storm. Not to be confused with maximum sustained winds (provided with "winds"). Supply value in knots. Example 164	Number	suggested
Maximum gusts prefix	gusts-prefix	Prefix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Maximum gusts suffix	gusts-suffix	Suffix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Beaufort scale	beaufort-scale beaufort scale	The maximum sustained winds on the Beaufort scale. Rarely used except for historical storms; consider using "winds" instead.	Number	optional
Lowest pressure	pressure	Lowest pressure, usually measured near the storm's center. Supply value in hectopascals/millibars (hPa/mbar). Example 975	Number	suggested
Lowest pressure prefix	pressure-prefix	Prefix for the pressure. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Lowest pressure suffix	pressure-suffix	Suffix for the lowest pressure. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Lowest temperature	lowest-temperature lowest temperature	Lowest temperature. Supply value in Fahrenheit when "basin" is "atl" or "epac". Otherwise, supply the value in Celcius. Example 13	Number	suggested
Lowest temperature prefix	temperature-prefix	Prefix for the temperature. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Lowest temperature suffix	temperature-suffix	Suffix for the lowest recorded temperature. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Largest hail	largest-hail largest hail	Largest recorded size of hail. Supply value in inches when "basin" is "atl" or "epac". Otherwise, supply the value in centimeters. Example 12	Number	optional
Largest hail suffix	largest-hail-suffix	Suffix for the largest hail recorded. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Maximum rainfall	maximum-rain maximum rain	Maximum recorded rainfall. Supply value in inches when "basin" is "atl" or "epac". Otherwise, supply the value in centimeters. Example 42	Number	optional
Maximum rainfall suffix	maximum-rain-suffix	Suffix for the maximum recorded rainfall. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
