Fire weather and FWI

Wildfire danger in Croatia today

Croatia wildfire risk with Fire Weather Index, wind, heat and drought context, plus an explanation of what today’s danger level means.

Quick answer: Fire danger describes how favourable conditions are for ignition and spread. A high index does not mean a wildfire exists, and a thermal detection is not a fire-danger forecast.

In immediate danger call 112 or 193. Požari.info is not an official alerting service.

What is FWI?

The Fire Weather Index combines weather factors and estimated fuel condition. It is a danger indicator, not a locator of active fires.

Why wind matters

Wind can accelerate fire spread, move smoke and restrict aerial firefighting. Local gusts may differ from a regional forecast.
