Fire Danger Ratings 24-12-11
« on: December 24, 2011, 01:23:06 PM »
ive been flicking around looking at some current FDI's around the northern and western part of SA. I have noticed the FDI's are considerably higher than forecast and in some areas exceed 50. which in turn if ws predicted would incur a TFB. Its strange how they can be sooo far out with forecast FDI.

1430 hrs @ Roseworthy FDI = 53.1

1430 hrs @ Snowtown FDI = 56.8

1430 hrs @ Cummins FDI = 71

1430 hrs @ Wudinna FDI = 81 (not much higher than forecast)

I wonder if weather in general is becoming harder to predict? Seems more and more things happen different to the general forecast! Or maybe we are just becoming very demanding!

Anywho "play on"
