fire weather

Fire weather refers to specific weather conditions that increase the likelihood and spread of wildfires. Key factors include hot temperatures, low humidity, strong winds, and dry conditions, which dry out vegetation and make it more combustible. When these conditions coincide, wildfires can ignite more easily and spread rapidly. Fire weather forecasts help fire agencies prepare and respond effectively to reduce risks and protect communities and ecosystems. Understanding fire weather is crucial for managing wildfire danger and taking preventive measures during high-risk periods.
