Fire weather refers to specific weather conditions that promote the ignition, spread, and behavior of wildfires. Key factors in fire weather include high air temperatures, low humidity, strong winds, and dry fuels such as dead leaves, grass, and trees. These conditions lead to increased fire danger because warm temperatures dry out vegetation, making it more flammable, while winds help fires spread quickly. Fire weather determines the fire season—the time of year when wildfires are most likely to occur and cause damage. Meteorological tools like the Fire Weather Index use variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation to assess fire risk and issue warnings like Fire Weather Watches or Red Flag Warnings, which signal elevated or immediate fire danger. Climate change is increasing the length and severity of fire weather seasons worldwide, making wildfire incidents more frequent and intense. In summary, fire weather means weather conditions favorable to wildfires, driven by heat, dryness, wind, and fuel availability, crucial for forecasting fire risk and managing fire prevention and response.
