Low danger for tomorrow

Météo des forêts · September 10, 2026

The expected weather conditions and recent rainfall reduce the risk of fires starting and spreading.

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.

Why they start

Out of 33 declared fires whose cause is recorded, that is 55 % of those in the department.

Arson 12 36 %
Unintentional (works) 10 30 %
Accidental 9 27 %
Unintentional (private individual) 2 6 %

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