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.

Arson 15 7 %

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