From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

The Template:Weather box/concise_C (Celsius) uses {{Weather box}} to generate a climate table, by using 36 positional parameters. Other parameters are:  location=, source= and optional "accessdate=" or sctemp=t. The 36 parameters are: 12 monthly highs (C), 12 lows (total 24) plus an optional 12 monthly rain/precipitation (in mm). Example of coding:

The example will generate a climate-table for "Marrakech, Morocco" listing the Celsius temperatures first, then Fahrenheit (in parentheses) below each, followed by precipitation in mm, then in inches (in parentheses). Example result:

Colors are set by Template:Weather box/colpastel, to set the temperature background colors when parameter "sctemp=pastel". The colder temperatures are purple-shades, the cool are beige, the warm are yellow-shades, and the hot are orange-browns.

Again, the 12 rain/precipitation parameters can be omitted.
