Project: Future Fires

Climatology of overnight fire weather conditions in south-eastern Australia

This project builds on a related project – Overnight fire weather conditions in NSW during Black Summer – to explore spatial and temporal patterns in overnight fire weather conditions in south-eastern Australia. It will help to build up a picture of current conditions and trends, identifying hot spots of high overnight fire danger. The project will also create a baseline of current conditions against which to measure future changes under continued global warming.

Project timeline: 01/2024 – 06/2025
