Abstract
Forest fire danger indices are calculated for a number of
Tasmanian locations over an extended period. Significant features
of the resulting climatology include: the existence of a
springtime peak in fire danger in eastern and southeastern
Tasmania (although with substantial interannual variability);
an apparent trend of increased severity of southeast
Tasmanian springtime fire weather events; and differences in
diurnal behaviour between the elevated location examined
and those at lower levels.
