Parameters

name Name of the storm, displayed on the top of the infobox

category

Controls the background color of the infobox intensity fields. Use in combination with type to control the text displayed inside the intensity fields (see {{Hurricane status small}}). The table below shows some of the values the template can obtain:

Category	Type
post-tropical	post-tropical cyclone
potential	potential tropical cyclone
depression	tropical depression subtropical depression
storm	tropical storm subtropical storm
cat1	hurricane typhoon (1-4) super typhoon (4-5) tropical cyclone
cat2
cat3
cat4
cat5

image Image displayed on the left side of the infobox. Usually a satellite view of the storm. File:Temporary cyclone north.svg is used as a placeholder if this parameter is empty.

image_width Width of the file included via image. 130px by default.

image_caption Caption of the file included via image. "Satellite image" by default.

track Image displayed on the left side of the infobox. Usually a forecast map of the storm. File:Temporary cyclone north.svg is used as a placeholder if this parameter is empty.

track_topcaption Used to include text above the file included via track. Not currently used.

track_width Width of the file included via track. 170px by default.

track_caption Caption of the file included via track. "Forecast map" by default.

AUScategory Used to input the Australian intensity classification into the "current storm information" row.

JMAtype Used to input the RSMC Tokyo intensity classification type into the "current storm information" row.

JMAcategory Used to input the RSMC Tokyo intensity classification into the "current storm information" row.

IMDtype Used to input the RSMC New Delhi intensity classification type into the "current storm information" row.

MFRtype Used to input the RSMC La Réunion intensity classification type into the "current storm information" row.

time Advisory time

location Deprecated: Showed the position of the storm center and uncertainty; replaced with lat, lon, distance_from, and within_units instead.

lat The latitude of the storm as displayed in the location field. This parameter is used to create a coordinate using {{Coord}}.
Example: 20.6 converts to 20.6°N, -20.6 converts to 20.6°S.

lon The longitude of the storm as displayed in the location field. This parameter is used to create a coordinate using {{Coord}}.
Example: -41.7 converts to 41.7°W, 41.7 converts to 41.7°E

within_units The accuracy of the units displayed in the location field.
Example: 20 nm converts to ± 20 nm.

distance_from The distance the storm is from a certain city or island(s).
Example: About 1205 mi (1935 km) WNW of the Cape Verde Islands.

10sustained 10-minute sustained winds

10average 10-minute average winds

3sustained 3-minute sustained winds

1sustained 1-minute sustained winds

gusts Measured gusts

gusts-position The position of the "gusts" line on the infobox. The gusts will appear after the line of a given winds value. Setting this to 10sustained will make the gusts appear after 10-minute sustained winds, 10average will make the gusts appear after 10-minute average winds, and 3sustained will make the gusts appear after 3-minute sustained winds. Not using this parameter will fall back to the default placement of the gusts line: after 1-minute sustained winds.

pressure Central barometric pressure of storm

movement Direction and speed of storm

stormarticle Storm article containing the Current storm information section for the system. Do not include the #Current_storm_information anchor in the link; it is already added by the template. If absent, template assumes that the section is in the current article.

sectnum Used to disambiguate storms when there are multiple active storms being tracked in the same season article. For the second currently active storm, from top to bottom, set sectnum=2; for the third, sectnum=3, and so on. If absent, the template assumes there is only one #Current_storm_information anchor in the article.

ref Used to replace the link to the Current storm information section with an external link to an official warning center (by convention the basin's Regional Specialized Meteorological Center).

Latitude and longitude used to be supplied with the letter indicating the direction of the coordinate (N, W, E, or S). This is no longer recommended. Signed values (positive for North and East, negative for West and South) should now be used instead. Compatibility will eventually be removed. See the talk page for details.
