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 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.
IMDcategory	Used to input the RSMC New Delhi intensity classification into the "current storm information" row.
MFRtype	Used to input the RSMC La Réunion intensity classification type into the "current storm information" row.
MFRcategory	Used to input the RSMC La Réunion intensity classification 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|N converts to 20.6°N. Remember: Always include the unnamed direction (N/S) parameter after the latitude. For example: 20.6|N
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|W converts to 41.7°W. Remember: Always include the unnamed direction (E/W) parameter after the longitude. For example: 41.7|W
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
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.

Important: Do not add a line break between any of the lat and lon parameters, named or unnamed, as this may cause unexpected results. If you must, do something like this:

lat=20.6|N<!--
-->lon=41.7|W
