The day after: Low danger.

Published by Météo-France, combining temperature, humidity, wind and vegetation dryness. It is not a fire forecast: it is how easily a fire would spread if one started.

Unintentional (private individual) 316 37 %

Natural 154 18 %
Accidental 105 12 %
Arson 95 11 %

BDIFF source. An investigation succeeds more often when a fire is large or suspicious: arson is probably over-represented here.
