This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox weather event.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 2,400 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

79.1% Infobox weather event adoption (2200 / 2783) as of 00:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

This template creates a completely modular weather infobox, which aims to support almost all severe weather events and allow modularity. Each of the subboxes are developed with modularity in mind. TemplateData will be available for these boxes soon to ease adding infoboxes to existing articles.

The primary infobox (this infobox) allows for a storm's image, name, and meteorological history. Meteorological data such as storm category and intensity or other data such as damage and deaths, are provided through subboxes.

This infobox aims to replace the current weather-related infoboxes: {{Infobox tropical cyclone}}, {{Infobox storm}}, and {{Infobox tropical cyclone current}}. See Template:Infobox weather event/Feature parity for a comparison of parameters in other infoboxes with this infobox. Please do not use this infobox on flood articles since its usage is controversial. Please use {{Infobox flood}} instead.

Usage

Winds and gusts units are always in knots. Pressure is always in millibars/hectopascals. These are non-configurable values in order to standardize and maintain consistency between all boxes. Damage is always in United States dollars, unless explicitly set with |currency=.

Basic

A very minimal box can be created using the following wikitext.

Wikitext

Output

{{Infobox weather event
| name = Typhoon Tip <!-- This is pre-supplied by the article name. -->
| image = File:TIP_1979-10-12-2333.jpg
| caption = Typhoon Tip at its record peak intensity on October 12
| formed = October 4, 1979
| extratropical = October 19, 1979
| dissipated = October 24, 1979
| footer = yes <!-- For display purposes. -->
}}

Up to two images can be displayed by the box at a given time. The image displayed may be the storm's satellite image (using |image=), its track map (using |track=), its forecast map (using |forecast=), or a combination of the two. The track map and forecast map may not be shown together. Caption, alternative text, and sizing can be set relative to each of the images above

Main parameter	Caption	Alternative text	Upright (scaling)	Width
`\|image=`	`\|caption=`	`\|alt=`	`\|image-upright=`	`\|image-width=`
`\|track=`	`\|track-caption=`	`\|track-alt=`	`\|track-upright=`	`\|track-width=`
`\|forecast=`	`\|forecast-caption=`	`\|forecast-alt=`	`\|forecast-upright=`	`\|forecast-width=`

All parameters of {{Infobox weather event/History}} is usable in the header box. You can add in another meteorological history section for long-lasting storms which experienced different stages.

If the event is a single event and does not need meteorological info, effects, or a footer, |footer=yes can be set to immediately close the template, skipping the need for a footer.

History

The meteorological history subbox allows an infobox to contain multiple meteorological history boxes (aside from the one already displayed by the main template).

Scales

Each meteorological agency has a subbox of its own, which links to the correct scale and automatically computes the category of a storm.

NWS

This subbox provides a meteorological data subbox based on the National Weather Service scale, which uses the Saffir–Simpson scale.

This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/SSHWS, which in turn relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/scale.

{{Infobox weather event/NWS
| winds = 150
| gusts = 175
| pressure = 902
}}

{{Infobox weather event/NWS
| winds = 45
| gusts = 55
| pressure = 989
}}

Australian scale

The Australian scale is used by multiple agencies. Multiple infoboxes are provided, each changing the issuing agency but providing the same scale.

The following templates can be used to show this scale:

Template:Infobox weather event/BOM – Bureau of Meteorology
Template:Infobox weather event/BMKG – Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (TCWC Jakarta)
Template:Infobox weather event/PNGNWS – Papua New Guinea National Weather Service
Template:Infobox weather event/FMS – Fiji Meteorological Service
Template:Infobox weather event/MetService – Meteorological Service of New Zealand

Tropical low	Category 1 tropical cyclone	Category 2 tropical cyclone	Category 3 severe tropical cyclone	Category 4 severe tropical cyclone	Category 5 severe tropical cyclone
<33 kn, <61 km/h, <37 mph	34–47 kn, 62–87 km/h, 39–54 mph	48–64 kn, 88–118 km/h, 55–73 mph	65–85 kn, 120–157 km/h, 74–97 mph	86–106 kn, 159–196 km/h, 98–122 mph	>107 kn, >198 km/h, >123 mph

Non-RSMC scales

Scale subboxes also exist for agencies which are not the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center. While the use of the JTWC subbox is generally allowed on all basins besides those which use the Saffir–Simpson scale (North Atlantic/Eastern Pacific/Central Pacific), other agency subboxes, such as those for the PAGASA (Philippines), CWB (Taiwan; subbox does not exist as of now), and PMD (Pakistan; subbox does not exist as of now) should generally be used only when the storm is not recognized by the basin's RSMC.

JTWC

This subbox provides a meteorological data subbox based on the Joint Typhoon Warning Center scale, which is based on the Saffir–Simpson scale (except all tropical cyclone categories are merged into one "Typhoon" category). The |basin= parameter controls which type of cyclone is shown.

This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/SSHWS, which in turn relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/scale.

{{Infobox weather event/JTWC
| winds = 150
| gusts = 175
| pressure = 902
}}


Category 5-equivalent tropical cyclone

The scale is different on the Western Pacific basin to accommodate the "Category 4-equivalent super typhoon" category.

Tropical depression	Tropical storm	Category 1-equivalent typhoon	Category 2-equivalent typhoon	Category 3-equivalent typhoon	Category 4-equivalent typhoon	Category 4-equivalent super typhoon	Category 5-equivalent super typhoon

PAGASA

This subbox provides a meteorological data subbox based on the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration scale. This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/scale.

This template supports both the old Tropical Cyclone Warning System categories (>220 kilometres per hour (140 mph; 120 kn) for TCWS #5) and the new (Modified) Tropical Cyclone Warning System implemented in 2022. To switch between scales, use the |scale= parameter along with the year of the scale: 2022 (default) or 2015.

Historical scales

These are scales that were used at some point in the past but are no longer in use.

NPMOC

This subbox provides a meteorological data subbox based on the Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center scale, a historical scale based on the Joint Typhoon Warning Center's scale, which itself is based on the Saffir–Simpson scale (except all tropical cyclone categories are merged into one "Typhoon" category). The |basin= parameter controls which type of cyclone is shown.

This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/SSHWS, which in turn relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/scale.

{{Infobox weather event/NPMOC
| winds = 150
| gusts = 175
| pressure = 902
}}


Category 5-equivalent tropical cyclone
1-minute sustained (SSHWS/NPMOC)
Highest winds	280 km/h (175 mph)
Highest gusts	325 km/h (200 mph)
Lowest pressure	902 hPa (mbar); 26.64 inHg

{{Infobox weather event/NPMOC
| winds = 150
| gusts = 175
| pressure = 902
| basin = WPac

Tropical storm
1-minute sustained (SSHWS/NPMOC)
Highest winds	85 km/h (50 mph)
Highest gusts	125 km/h (80 mph)
Lowest pressure	982 hPa (mbar); 29.00 inHg

Tropical depression	Tropical storm	Category 1-equivalent tropical cyclone	Category 2-equivalent tropical cyclone	Category 3-equivalent tropical cyclone	Category 4-equivalent tropical cyclone	Category 5-equivalent tropical cyclone
<31 kn, <57 km/h, <35 mph	32–63 kn, 59–116 km/h, 36–72 mph	64–82 kn, 118–151 km/h, 73–94 mph	83–95 kn, 153–175 km/h, 95–109 mph	96–112 kn, 177–207 km/h, 110–128 mph	113–136 kn, 209–251 km/h, 130–156 mph	>137 kn, >253 km/h, >157 mph

No scale

To display meteorological information in cases where an agency or scale is unavailable (such as in the case of historical storms, e.g. the 1881 Haiphong typhoon), you can directly use the /meteorology sub-box. This will remove agency and measurement interval from the box header.

By default, the category "Unknown-strength storm" will appear as the category. This can be overridden by setting |category= to any available storm category ID.

{{Infobox weather event/meteorology
| category = TY
| pressure = 902
}}


Typhoon
Lowest pressure	902 hPa (mbar); 26.64 inHg

Winter storms

This sub-box generates a meteorological information box specifically targeted towards winter storms. When available, this box will change the header to reflect a winter storm category (such as a category provided by the Regional Snowfall Index). Otherwise, it will show a generic "Winter storm" header.

The winter storm category may be supplied using |category=. In the event that this storm has an RSI value, the |RSI= parameter can instead be used, and will automatically adjust the box to use imperial units instead of metric. The |basin= parameter can also be used to change this behavior; 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|100|in|cm|abbr=on}}|maximum-rain= or |maximum-snow=), 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/Winter storm
| winds = 112
| lowest-temperature = -45
| maximum-snow = 17
}}


Winter storm
Highest winds	205 km/h (130 mph)
Lowest temperature	−45 °C (−49.00 °F)
Maximum snowfall or ice accretion	17 cm (6.693 in)

{{Infobox weather event/Winter storm
| RSI = 6.78
| winds = 87
| lowest-temperature = -23
| maximum-rain = 56
| maximum-snow = 12
}}


Category 3 "Major" winter storm
Regional Snowfall Index: 6.78 (NOAA)
Highest winds	100 mph (160 km/h)
Lowest temperature	−23 °F (−30.56 °C)
Maximum rainfall	56 in (1,422 mm)
Maximum snowfall or ice accretion	12 in (304.8 mm)

Tornado outbreaks

This sub-box generates a meteorological information box specifically targeted towards tornado outbreaks. The header color changes depending on the highest tornado rating provided; the name stays the same. Use |tornadoes= to indicate the number of tornadoes in this outbreak.

This template supports two scales: the Fujita scale (priority) and the TORRO scale. These can be provided using the |fujita-scale= and |torro-scale= parameters, respectively. The version of the Fujita scale changes depending on the value. For example, supplying |fujita-scale=EF5 will make the template automatically use the Enhanced Fujita scale. Likewise, supplying |fujita-scale=IF5 will make the template automatically use the International Fujita scale. The color of the header may be overridden with the |category= parameter; supply a valid storm category color to change it.

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/Tornado outbreak
| basin = atl
| tornadoes = 42
| fujita-scale = EF5
| winds = 180
}}


Tornado outbreak

}}


Tornado outbreak
Tornadoes	230
Maximum rating	EF3 (Enhanced Fujita scale) T5 (TORRO scale)
Duration	4 hours

Highest winds	140 mph (220 km/h)

Tornado families

This sub-box generates a meteorological information box specifically targeted towards tornado families. The header color changes depending on the highest tornado rating provided; the name stays the same. Use |tornadoes= to indicate the number of tornadoes in this tornado family.

This template supports two scales: the Fujita scale (priority) and the TORRO scale. These can be provided using the |fujita-scale= and |torro-scale= parameters, respectively. The version of the Fujita scale changes depending on the value. For example, supplying |fujita-scale=EF5 will make the template automatically use the Enhanced Fujita scale. Likewise, supplying |fujita-scale=IF5 will make the template automatically use the International Fujita scale. The color of the header may be overridden with the |category= parameter; supply a valid storm category color to change it.

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.

Tornadoes

This sub-box generates a meteorological information box specifically targeted towards single tornadoes. The header changes depending on the highest tornado rating provided.

This template supports two scales: the Fujita scale (priority) and the TORRO scale. These can be provided using the |fujita-scale= and |torro-scale= parameters, respectively. The version of the Fujita scale changes depending on the value. For example, supplying |fujita-scale=EF5 will make the template automatically use the Enhanced Fujita scale. Likewise, supplying |fujita-scale=IF5 will make the template automatically use the International Fujita scale. The header category may be overridden with the |category= parameter; supply a valid storm category ID to change it.

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.

Generic storms

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.

Effects

This subbox provides a tally of weather event effects. This includes direct storm casualties, damage (in USD), affected regions, and infrastructure damage. The |casualties= parameter can be used to combine the |fatalities=, |injuries=, and |missing= parameters, should there be minimal or no casualties.

This box will show damage and losses in United States dollars by default. Adding a |year= parameter will also indicate the year when displaying monetary values for contextualizing cost at a specific point in time.

References may be added with |refs= or |references=. However, as much as possible, avoid placing references directly into the box and instead use article content to place references. You may also use |IBTrACS= to link to the storm's International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) entry. Using both will make both appear at the bottom row; using only references will make the row height shrink to cut down on unnecessary whitespace.

Damage and economic losses can be set to a different currency using |currency= (or |damage-currency= and |losses-currency=), and a United States dollar-equivalent conversion can be provided. This can help contextualize weather events which impact a specific area. To set the USD conversion by hand, you can use |usd-damage= and |usd-losses= respectively. You can also opt to do these conversions automatically, as long as you provide a year and an ISO country code using |country=. Note that damage and losses are not multiplied. If the damage is 3 billion United States dollars, write |damage=3000000000, not |damage=3000.

The |year= parameter need not be the year that the event made impact, but rather a year relatively close to the year that it made impact, such that damage and losses can be calculated automatically.

When additional context is required, one may use |damage-suffix= to insert footnotes. |damage-prefix= can be used to insert symbols prior to the figure. losses also has suffix and prefix parameters, |losses-suffix= and |losses-prefix=, respectively.
