;argument <kbd>1</kbd>
:Appears in the heading
;arguments <kbd>2</kbd>–<kbd>37</kbd>
: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.
;<kbd>maxprecip=</kbd>
: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.))
;<kbd>float=</kbd>
:<kbd>''left''</kbd>, <kbd>''right''</kbd> or <kbd>''none''</kbd>.
;<kbd>clear=</kbd>
:<kbd>''left''</kbd>, <kbd>''right''</kbd>, <kbd>''both''</kbd> or <kbd>''none''</kbd>.

=== Units ===
In articles where SI units (°C, mm) are preferred, input the data in those units. This is the default state&nbsp;— 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.''
