From: Global increase in wildfire potential from compound fire weather and drought
a Average annual burned area (km2). b Average daily FFDI. c Month of maximum average burned area. d Month of maximum average FFDI. e Example of which months are used in the calculation of annual values of precipitation, burned area and fire weather days (FWD). The data are for the eastern Australia (EAU) region shown in (a). October is the month of average maximum FFDI. Therefore the 2020 event is defined using the period November 2018 through October 2019 for precipitation, and April 2019 through March 2020 for FWD and burned area.
