Overview
The aim of this research was to operationally implement a 10-day forecast of fire weather indices. The forecasts were to be delivered by the MetConnect web application already in use by the fire managers. During the trial period (140 days) the forecasts were produced in a timely fashion and there were no missed forecasts. Based on this, the software and systems for producing and delivering the forecasts have proved to be robust.
