Template:Infobox tropical cyclone season
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]An infobox for tropical cyclones and hurricane seasons.
Calculations
- Pressure: If {{{basin}}} is one of Atl or EPac the template will calculate the pressure in inHg from the pressure in mbar and quote to 2dp.
- Windspeeds: The template takes parameters here in terms of knots and returns mph and km/h (the order depending on the basin). It returns these to the nearest 5.

TemplateData for Infobox tropical cyclone season
An infobox for hurricanes and tropical cyclone seasons.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basin | Basin | A abbreviation denoting what basin is represented
| String | required |
| Year | Year | The year of the season, if a multiple year span is covered, use the most recent.
| Number | suggested |
| Track | Track | The location of the track map.
| File | suggested |
| Track alt | Track alt | Alt text for the track map, for visually impaired readers; see Wikipedia:Alternative text for images, particularly its Maps section.
| String | optional |
| First storm formed | First storm formed | Formation date (generally tropical storm-strength) of first storm (full date). Use {{Start date}}.
| Date | required |
| Last storm dissipated | Last storm dissipated | Dissipation date of last storm (full date). Use {{End date}}.
| Date | required |
| Strongest storm name | Strongest storm name | The name of the strongest storm(s) when the storm(s) has/have both the highest winds and lowest pressure of the season, or the rankings by either disagree but the sets of leaders are not disjoint, in which case list the intersection of those sets (for example: Alpha 140 kt and 925 hPa, Beta 140 kt and 929 hPa, and Gamma 120 kt and 925 hPa: list Alpha solely). Wikilink if appropriate.
| Unknown | optional |
| Strongest storm pressure | Strongest storm pressure | The minimum pressure of the strongest storm, in mbar/hPa.
| Number | optional |
| Strongest storm winds | Strongest storm winds | The maximum windspeed of the strongest storm, in knots.
| Number | optional |
| Strongest storm by pressure name | Strongest storm by pressure name | The name of the storm with the lowest pressure of the season when it is not the same as the storm(s) with the highest winds. Wikilink if appropriate. Specifically: use this argument when ranking by central pressure and winds disagree and the set of leaders by one metric is completely disjoint from the set of leaders of the other metric; if they intersect, then each is considered to tiebreak for the other and the unified argument (strongest storm name) should be used with the intersection of the sets of leaders of each metric. | Unknown | optional |
| Strongest storm by pressure pressure | Strongest storm by pressure pressure | Lowest central pressure of the storm with the lowest pressure of the season, in mbar/hPa. | Number | optional |
| Strongest storm by pressure winds | Strongest storm by pressure winds | Highest winds of the storm with the lowest pressure of the season, which are necessarily not the highest of the season, in knots. | Number | optional |
| Strongest storm by winds name | Strongest storm by winds name | The name of the storm with the highest winds of the season when it is not the same as the storm(s) with the highest winds. Wikilink if appropriate. Specifically: use this argument and the by-pressure argument when ranking by central pressure and winds disagree and the set of leaders by one metric is completely disjoint from the set of leaders of the other metric; if they intersect, then each is considered to tiebreak for the other and the unified argument (strongest storm name) should be used with the intersection of the sets of leaders of each metric. | Unknown | optional |
| Strongest storm by winds pressure | Strongest storm by winds pressure | Lowest central pressure of the storm with the highest winds of the season if the above argument is used, which is necessarily not the lowest central pressure of the season, in mbar/hPa. | Number | optional |
| Strongest storm by winds winds | Strongest storm by winds winds | Highest winds of the storm with the highest winds of the season, in knots. | Number | optional |
| Average wind speed | Average wind speed | The length of time used to find the average measurement of the storm's maximum sustained winds.
| Number | optional |
| Total disturbances | Total disturbances | For the NIO this is defined as the number of Depressions in a season. For the rest of the basins it is the number of disturbances. For the Atl and NEPac basins, it is the number of Potential tropical cyclones.
| Number | optional |
| Total depressions | Total depressions | For the NIO this is defined as the number of Deep Depressions in a season for other basins this is the total number of depressions in a season
| Number | optional |
| Total storms | Total storms | The total number of storms of at least TS strength
| Number | optional |
| Total hurricanes | Total hurricanes | The total number of hurricane-strength systems.
| Number | optional |
| Total intense | Total intense | For all basins, the number of major storms that formed. (Major hurricanes, super typhoons, severe and intense cyclones.)
| Number | optional |
| Fatalities | Fatalities | Total number of people killed (directly and indirectly) during the season. Use a range of values if necessary.
| Number | optional |
| Damages | Damages | Total damages from the season. This is expressed in millions of dollars in the year of the season.
| Number | optional |
| Past five seasons links | fiveseasons | Links to the next and previous 2 seasons around this one. In most cases this is just the previous 2 years and the following 2 years, with the current year in the center. For multi-season articles it takes a little more thought. | Unknown | required |
| Strongest CPac name | Strongest CPac name | For Pacific hurricane seasons only, the name of the strongest CPac storm.
| Unknown | optional |
| Strongest CPac pressure | Strongest CPac pressure | As for the strongest storm, for the CPac only, in mbar/hPa.
| Number | optional |
| Strongest CPac winds | Strongest CPac winds | As for the strongest storm, for the CPac only, in knots.
| Number | optional |
