The Fire Weather Index for a personal weather station, in short '''pwsFWI''', is probably one of the most complex modules of ''CumulusUtils''. Not so much for the calculations, which once you know what to do are not that complex, but more for the interpretation and understanding of what is shown. This Wiki article will try to explain both how the module works, what you get and the value of it.
This page is about the module from a practical point of view, for the science background you go to [[Theoretical background on pwsFWI]].
For external reference on the theory behind the pwsFWI you can go the [https://eamcweb3.usfs.msu.edu/HDW/index.html The Hot-Dry-Windy Index: A New FireWeather Index] site of Michigan State University who adopted it as a tool for climatological analysis. The 2018 article on which I based the software is [https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/9/7/279 The Hot-Dry-Windy Index: A New Fire Weather Index].
