Out of curiosity I plugged Lytton’s weather readings into the Mccarthur tables we use to calculate forest fire danger in Australia.
I’m using guesstimates for humidity and wind speed based on the spotty data available from the local government website. Also just totally fudging the fuel load number.
I’m reading spotting distances between 1.5 and 2km.
Overall FFDI of 41 so a bad day but not extreme by our standards. Would have been a lot worse with lower humidity.
- moistly 5y agoParts of the province were down to 11% humidity. Lytton is renown for being extremely dry.
