This is a meta-template used by all of the meteorological info subboxes for Template:Infobox weather event. It is used to standardize all scale-based subboxes.

By default, units are metric with the exception of winds and gusts, which are always in knots. This is the case to reflect international usage of knots in measuring wind speeds. This may be overridden by supplying a {{convert}} template as a value, or by appending the relevant unit ("mph" or "kmh") to the end of the value for automatic conversion, however, both come as an "at your own risk" feature as this reduces maintainability.

The |basin= parameter can also be used to change the units; set it to atl or epac to switch to the imperial system. 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.

The following templates use this meta-template to supply meteorological information:

Automatic storm categories

ਸੋਧੋ

For some sub-boxes (particularly in scale boxes), the category of a storm can be inferred from its wind speed or from other meteorological data. To allow the box to automatically calculate the category, supply an |auto-category= parameter. This parameter will be used in the event that |category= is empty, allowing editors to both let automatic calculations do the work or override the category if needed.
