Moderate danger for tomorrow

Météo des forêts · September 10, 2026

The day after: Moderate 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.

Why they start

Out of 1,217 declared fires whose cause is recorded, that is 64 % of those in the department.

Unintentional (private individual) 490 40 %
Arson 277 23 %
Natural 234 19 %
Unintentional (works) 121 10 %
Accidental 95 8 %

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