Scope
I, TydeNet, hereby wish to implement a WikiProject on Climate, with the main objective being the creation of a "Climate" infobox to place on specific city pages, etc. Despite the huge detail embodied in Wikiproject Cities, this very important element was found lacking.
Ideally, I'd like a sort of table that also converts numerical data into a graph to be displayed above the table. Unfortunately, I think this is above my level of programming prowess, thus the need for a Project. I'd like everyone's help here!

Pages needing attention
Wikipedia:Pages needing attention listings are no longer being updated. For by-topic listings of articles that need attention, see:
To flag an article for attention, add a cleanup template to the article or talk page. See Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup for a listing. All previously listed articles have either been fixed or tagged.
See also the page history of Wikipedia:Votes for rewrite which ran from May 2002-June 2003 then was redirected to here.
Project details
The basic essence of the project is to first of all implement a basic Climate Table, and then build on it from there. My creation of said Climate table (at this point have not started the table per se) can be found here: Template:Climate Table.
Future programming of said infobox (eg to transpose data into a graph) should be postponed until the basic Climate table is off the ground.
Standard Infobox
{{Infobox Weather}}
Here's an example from the Iqaluit article with the reference in the <references/> section.
