Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Module:Typhoon warnings table (sandbox)

This template is used to generate a table of tropical cyclone warnings and watches for tropical cyclones in the Northwestern Pacific basin.

Usage edit

The template without any parameters will produce a result like the following:

Preview

No tropical cyclone watches or warnings posted at this time.

Wikicode
{{TyphoonWarningsTable}}

Locality-based warnings edit

China edit

In most cases, warnings are taken from the China Meteorological Administration Warnings page.

When there are Chinese tropical cyclone warnings active, use the following syntax:

Preview

China (as of 22:00 UTC (06:00 CST))
Red typhoon alert 台风红色预警信号 Average of Beaufort force 12 (125 km/h; 78 mph) or higher wind speeds on coasts or land, or gusts of up to Beaufort force 14 (158 km/h; 98 mph), within 6 hours.

The following values are usable for the CNsignal parameter:


`4`, `blue`, `b`	`3`, `yellow`, `y`	`2`, `orange`, `o`	`1`, `red`, `r`

Hong Kong edit

In most cases, warnings are taken from the Hong Kong Observatory Tropical Cyclone Warning page.

When there are Hong Kong tropical cyclone warning signals active, use the following syntax:

Preview

Hong Kong (as of 23:00 UTC (07:00 HKT))
Signal No. 09 - Increasing Gale or Storm Signal Gale or storm-force winds are increasing or expected to increase significantly in strength. Expect strong winds with a sustained speed of 88–117 km/h and gusts no faster than 220 km/h.

For historical (signals are old) or prevailing (wind speeds are currently affecting the area), use PHhistorical and PHactive, respectively. In identifying if winds are currently prevailing, access the Tropical Cyclone Bulletin PDF and visit the "Hazards affecting land areas" section. If there are comments indicating that the system is unlikely or not currently affecting the country's weather condition, signals are currently not prevailing.

Technical edit

You can also use the align parameter to determine how the table floats. You can also use the clear parameter to automatically include a {{clear}} template at the bottom of the warnings table.

Error cases edit

Improperly using the template may lead to error cases. This section contains examples of error cases when using this template.

(CMA) China Meteorological Administration edit

If an invalid signal was provided for CNsignal, the table will look like the following:
