Be prepared for wildfires

Wildfires can spark anywhere, anytime. The Weather & Radar app can help you determine your area's risk.

Wildfires can spark anywhere, anytime. But for widespread fire activity to take place, a few weather ingredients need to come together, and you can monitor these in the Weather & Radar app.

Hourly & daily forecasts

Your hourly and daily forecasts have important tools you can use at any time of the day to know when wildfires could spread easily. Warmer temperatures can assist in wildfires spreading, and you can monitor the temps on the homepage. Additionally, the less humid and more windy a place is, the more wildfires can be supported. Find this information on the app!

The WindRadar

Wildfires need a way to spread. When dry winds start blowing sparks across dry fuel, we can see fast-moving infernos. Monitor the gusts across the world on the WindRadar.

The LightningRadar

Lightning strikes cause between 17,000 and 25,000 wildfires per year, and you can monitor the strikes live on the LightningRadar anywhere in the world. If you know you are in a particularly dry area or that drought has been impacting your region, monitor lightning strikes, as these can easily spark wildfires.
