This template creates a completely modular weather infobox, which aims to support almost all severe weather events and allow modularity. Each of the subboxes are developed with modularity in mind. TemplateData will be available for these boxes soon to ease adding infoboxes to existing articles.
The primary infobox (this infobox) allows for a storm's image, name, and meteorological history. Meteorological data such as storm category and intensity or other data such as damages and deaths, are provided through subboxes.
Winds and gusts units are always in knots. Pressure is always in millibars/hectopascals. Damages are always in United States dollars. These are non-configurable values in order to standardize and maintain consistency between all boxes.
A very minimal box can be created using the following wikitext.

All parameters of {{Infobox weather event/History}} is usable in the root box. You can add in another meteorological history section for long-lasting storms which experienced different stages.
The meteorological history subbox allows an infobox to contain multiple meteorological history boxes (aside from the one already displayed by the main template).

Scale subboxes also exist for agencies which are not the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center. While the use of the JTWC subbox is generally allowed on all basins besides those which use the Saffir–Simpson scale (North Atlantic/Eastern Pacific/Central Pacific), other agency subboxes, such as those for the PAGASA (Philippines), CWB (Taiwan; subbox does not exist as of now), and PMD (Pakistan; subbox does not exist as of now) should generally be used only when the storm is not recognized by the basin's RSMC.
This subbox provides a meteorological data subbox based on the Joint Typhoon Warning Center scale, which is based on the Saffir–Simpson scale (except all tropical cyclone categories are merged into one "Typhoon" category). The |basin= parameter controls which type of cyclone is shown.
This template supports both the old Tropical Cyclone Warning System categories (>220 kilometres per hour (140 mph; 120 kn) for TCWS #5) and the new (Modified) Tropical Cyclone Warning System implemented in 2022. To switch between scales, use the |scale= parameter along with the year of the scale: 2022 (default) or 2015.
This subbox provides a tally of weather event effects. This includes direct storm casualties, damages (in USD), affected regions, and infrastructural damages. The |casualties= parameter can be used to combine the |fatalities=, |injuries=, and |missing= parameters.
