Wildfire expert Dr. Mike Flannigan is sharing a new national fire weather outlook aimed at helping agencies, communities and individuals prepare for periods of elevated wildfire risk.
Flannigan, one of the world’s leading fire researchers, is providing a weekly Canada Fire Weather Outlook that will be updated every Tuesday during wildfire season. The Outlook offers a national five- to 10-day forecast identifying areas at risk for extreme fire weather conditions.
Currently, there is no comparable publicly available national fire weather outlook in Canada that forecasts five to ten days in advance. As a public tool, the Outlook is intended to provide advance warning of potential extreme fire weather events and support greater awareness and preparedness across the country.
