Note
Fire Weather District Ratings are provided in conjunction with Fire Authorities. District FBI (Fire Behaviour Index) is the representative peak FBI in the district. 10% of the Fire Weather District has a max FBI higher than this value. When the table is expanded the forecast elements in the expanded rows apply to the relevant Sub Area rather than district. Red cells indicate the value exceeds the weather alert threshold. For c-Haines this is the 95th percentile climatological value, for WCDI this is a value over 40, for Minor Fuel Type Rating this indicates Extreme or higher whilst the district rating is less than Extreme.
Tuesday
Possible morning valley fog, otherwise fine until light showers develop about the far southwest during the evening. Hot to very hot about the south and west. Fresh and gusty northeasterly winds about the Far North West and east coast, light winds elsewhere becoming fresh and gusty northast to northwesterly winds during the day, shifting west to southwesterly about the west and south during the evening.
