'''NOTE: This Fire Weather Index is an original development and bears no relation to any other existing fire weather index and the resulting (absolute) value can not be compared to any of those. It is the resulting warning level which can be compared and which should be used.'''
 
'''NOTE: The units shown in the table are as used by the equations. Your units for your weatherstation may differ, conversions are implicit and non-configurable!'''
 
The Fire Weather Index for a personal weather station, in short '''pwsFWI''', is probably one of the most complex modules of ''CumulusUtils''.

This Wiki article will try to explain both how the module works, what you get and the value of it.
