🔥📊 2024: A Record Year for Extreme Fire Weather 📊🔥

2024 has set a new record since 1979, with 9 more days of extreme Fire Weather Index (FWI) conditions than any previous year in the ERA5 dataset.

The bars represent FWI anomalies (days above the 95th percentile) from ERA5 data, colored by temperature anomalies. 2024 stands out as the year with the highest number of extreme FWI days since 1979. The data suggest a strong link between rising temperatures and an increasing frequency of extreme fire weather conditions. The FWI is a meteorological index that indicates how favorable conditions are for fire spread and intensity, driven by temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation.
