Usage

This subbox provides a meteorological data subbox based on the Hong Kong Observatory scale. This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/scale.

| pressure = 870

TemplateData

A subbox for displaying meteorological information for a storm according to data from the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO). Should be used adjacent to an 'Infobox weather event' template, and before an 'Infobox weather event/Footer' template.

Template parameters

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

ParameterDescriptionTypeStatus
Child display?child

Whether this is a child box or not. Use `yes`, unless you're using this box standalone.

Default
yes
Example
yes
Booleanoptional
Body stylebodystyle

Custom CSS for the box

Default
border-collapse: collapse
Stringoptional
Maximum sustained windswinds

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
Numbersuggested
Maximum winds prefixwinds-prefix

Prefix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'.

Example
~
Stringoptional
Maximum winds suffixwinds-suffix

Suffix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.

Contentoptional
Maximum wind gustgusts

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
Numbersuggested
Maximum gusts prefixgusts-prefix

Prefix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'.

Example
~
Stringoptional
Maximum gusts suffixgusts-suffix

Suffix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.

Contentoptional
Beaufort scalebeaufort-scale beaufort scale

The maximum sustained winds on the Beaufort scale. Rarely used except for historical storms; consider using "winds" instead.

Numberoptional
Lowest pressurepressure

Lowest pressure, usually measured near the storm's center. Supply value in hectopascals/millibars (hPa/mbar).

Example
975
Numbersuggested
Lowest pressure prefixpressure-prefix

Prefix for the pressure. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'.

Example
~
Stringoptional
Lowest pressure suffixpressure-suffix

Suffix for the lowest pressure. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.

Contentoptional
Category only?categoryonly

Only return the category of this storm as a string. Useful if you only want the category of a storm based on meteorological data, but not the actual box itself.

Default
no
