Figure

Number of high fire danger days in summer in the baseline period (1981-2010) and in 2041-2070 under RCP8.5 scenario

This map shows the number of high fire danger days in summer (June, July, August) in the baseline period (1981-2010) and in 2041-2070 under Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario. This Index is based on the Fire Weather Index (FWI). The index gives the number of days in a given period presenting favourable meteorological conditions to triggering a wildfire. The higher the Index, the higher the risk of wildfire.

Based on data

External Data Spec High Fire Danger Days The data was assembled on behalf of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) based on climate projections hosted on the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS). The observed index data are from a dataset based on the ERA5 reanalysis and updated in near real time. It is produced by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service for the Global ECMWF Fire Forecasting model (GEFF) and the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS). The simulated index data are from a set of 6 bias-adjusted multi-model simulations from the EURO-CORDEX experiment. These simulations have a daily temporal resolution, a spatial resolution of 0.1° x 0.1° and cover scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. More technical specifications can be found in the datasets documentation  found on this website: https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/en/metadata/indicators/high-fire-danger-days The data was assembled on behalf of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) based on climate projections hosted on the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS).

External Data Spec NUTS administrative units The GISCO statistical unit dataset represents the NUTS (Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics) and Statistical regions by means of multipart polygon, polyline and point topology. The NUTS geographical information is completed by attribute tables and a set of cartographic help lines to better visualize multipart polygonal regions. The NUTS are a hierarchical system divided into 3 levels. NUTS1: major socio-economic regions, NUTS2: basic regions for the application of regional policies, NUTS3: small regions for specific diagnoses. Additionally a NUTS 0 level, usually co-incident with national boundaries are also available. The NUTS legislation is periodically amended; therefore multiple years are available for download.
