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.
Monday
Morning showers, mainly about the north. Showers developing about the west in the afternoon, possibly extending to central and southern districts in the evening. Possible afternoon thunderstorms about the west and south. Fresh and gusty north to northeasterly winds, shifting northwest to westerly during the day, strong and gusty near southern coasts.
