Template:Infobox weather event/Current/doc

Usage

This subbox provides current storm information. It should be used for storms which are currently active and tracked by a Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre. It should be used in conjunction with the current/live versions of scale templates.

Place this below (or as a replacement of, particularly on season pages) the /History box. When using the main template (which has its own history box), keep the history parameters off to disable the "Meteorological history" header or use |no-history= to suppress the box.

Wikitext	Output
{{Infobox weather event | name = Typhoon Zeta }}{{Infobox weather event/Current | as-of = {{LOCALHOUR}}:00 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]], {{LOCALMONTHNAMEGEN}} {{LOCALDAY}} | lat = 37.7 | lon = -122.4 | distance-from = {{convert|24855|nmi|round=5}} E of [[San Francisco]] | movement = [[Points of the compass|WNW]] at {{cvt|9|kn}} }}{{Infobox weather event/Footer}}	Typhoon Zeta Current storm information As of 12:00 UTC, May 12 Location 37.7°N 122.4°W / 37.7; -122.4 (Template:Infobox weather event/Current/doc) 24,855 nautical miles (46,030 km; 28,605 mi) E of San Francisco Movement WNW at 9 kn (17 km/h; 10 mph)

When there are multiple storms in the same season page and this template is being used, the anchor at the header of the subbox will be incorrectly linked. To change this, set |sectnum= to the section offset of the correct "Current storm information" section. For example, if this storm describes the storm with the third "Current storm information" section on the same page, use |sectnum=3.
