Fire weather type (FWT) characteristics. (a) Lead lag composites of weather and climate variables with respect to wildfire days on daily (for temperature, mean relative humidity and mean wind speed) and monthly (for drought code and duff moisture code) timescales. For each FWT, the mean values (lines) and the 95% confidence interval around the mean (colored areas) are reported. The dashed grey vertical lines indicate the day (month) of a fire. (b) The Fire Size Risk Ratio (FSRR) for each FWT: mean values (lines) and 95% confidence intervals (colored areas). The FSRR is the ratio of the probability of a wildfire reaching a certain size under a given FWT divided by the corresponding probability under the other FWTs. (c) Relative frequency of the FWTs in the four Mediterranean countries investigated here.
