Description
Fire Weather and Risk Dataset for Hérault, France (2020–2025)
This dataset provides daily meteorological and fire risk data for the department of Hérault in southern France, covering the years 2020 to 2025. It integrates:
- Meteorological variables (from SAFRAN-SMI)
- Fire danger index (IFM) and derived fire risk indicators
- Soil moisture and water balance variables (e.g., SWI, ETP, etc.)
- Commune-level metadata (INSEE code, name, coordinates)
- Historical fire occurrences from the BDIFF database
The data is intended to support modeling and evaluation of daily fire danger risk and can serve as a benchmark for machine learning models.
