The Forest Fire Index estimates the risk of forest fires based on moisture information of three different soil layers. The index ranges from 0 to 1, where the risk increases for values exceeding 0.5. A value of 0 indicates low risk, while a value of 1 indicates very high risk.
The Fosberg fire weather index indicates the risk for bush/grass fire and ranges from 0 to 100 (continuous scale). The fire danger is evaluated according to the present weather without taking into account past weather conditions.
This index forecasts whether a certain location is under a drought or not. The percentiles of the deviation of the current time window from the mean of the past years is computed. The percentiles are then grouped into bins which gives the following output scale for the drought index:
