Climate charts for caves[edit]
- Swept in from the pub
In the process of writing an article about a cave, I'm unsure how the climate graph should look like? Should it have the temperature of the ground level, or the temperature of underground? Most logical thing is at ground level, but the section underground is also just as important to be mentioned. Can't find any other good guide park about caves with {{climate}}.

- For outdoors climate readers can assume the climate of the region applies. You can refer to that information with some suitable sentence. If the caves are in a place with a different climate (isolated by mountains or whatever), then let's rethink. The underground temperature does probably not vary much, so just saying "it's 10°C inside, so you'll need jacket and sweater" or whatever should be enough. Plus, of course, any warnings for flash floods and the like, if applicable. –LPfi (talk)"
- Thanks for the advice. I've just included both, but used your advice and used the climate of the region. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 02:43, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- Ground level is more reasonable. Inside the cave, the temperature is nearly constant throughout the year (especially in deeper parts of a cave). OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:10, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
