Template:Climate chart/doc

This template can be used to create climate charts, with average monthly minimum and maximum temperatures.

Usage

 * argument 1
 * Appears in the heading


 * arguments 2 – 37
 * The data. Think of it as 12 rows, one for each month, with left column for average low temperature, middle column for average high temperature and right column for precipitation.


 * maxprecip=
 * Supply highest monthly precipitation number if the blue precipitation bars pop out of the chart (happens if any of the monthly numbers is greater than about 750 mm (30 in.))


 * float=
 * left, right or none.


 * clear=
 * left, right , both or none.


 * source=
 * Supply the source of your data

Units
In articles where SI units (°C, mm) are preferred, input the data in those units. This is the default state — no further parameters are needed. In articles where imperial units (°F, inches) are preferred, input data in those units and specify the parameter units=imperial (see below). This parameter must be used so that the units are labeled correctly and so the conversion is done properly.

Large precipitation numbers (with re-scaling)
Values of maxprecip less than or equal to 750 have no effect.
