Dataset used to develop the "Wildfire indicator [available at https://www.stats.govt.nz/indicators/wildfire-risk]
This indicator measures fire danger using the New Zealand Fire Danger Rating at 30 sites around New Zealand from 1997 to 2019, although not all sites start at 1997. We report on the number of days per year with ‘very high and extreme’ (VH+E) fire danger for each of these sites, and trends over time.
