;argument 1

:Appears in the heading

;arguments 237

: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=

= 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.
