Fire Weather Sample Clauses
The Fire Weather clause establishes procedures and responsibilities in the event that fire weather conditions, such as high temperatures, low humidity, or strong winds, pose a risk to ongoing work or property. Typically, this clause requires parties to monitor official fire weather warnings and may mandate the suspension of certain activities, like welding or machinery use, during high-risk periods. Its core function is to minimize the risk of fire-related incidents on site, thereby protecting people, property, and the environment from potential harm.
Fire Weather. The State will be permitted to use the Federal weather data processing system. Use of the system may be from state owned locations. The State may access the system using Federal account numbers.
Fire Weather. The agreement adopts House direction regarding ‘‘Fire Weather’’ and provides an increase of $7,000,000 above the fiscal year 2022 enacted level for these initiatives across NOAA. Within these funds,
Fire Weather. Weather is the most variable element in the wildland fire environment and the least predictable. The important components of fire weather are temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind and atmospheric stability. All of these elements have the potential to retard or enhance wildfire spread and intensity. The average annual precipitation in the City and surrounding areas is 30.13 inches with the majority of the precipitation occurring between October and April. January is historically the wettest month of the year with rainfall averaging 6.2 inches (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/, accessed August 2019). Since the City ▇▇▇▇ lies in an inland valley of the Coast Range, approximately 22 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, the intrusion of the marine layer inland brings low clouds and fog in the spring and early summer months. This retards wildfire spread during those time periods. August is the warmest month of the year in the Planning Area with an average maximum temperature of 82.8° Fahrenheit (F). However, extremely hot temperatures can occur in Santa ▇▇▇▇, with a high temperature of 107° F recorded at the Santa ▇▇▇▇ RAWS in September of 2017. Diablo winds are offshore wind events that flow northeasterly over Northern California’s Coast Ranges, often creating extreme fire danger for the San Francisco Bay and surrounding areas. Besides high wind velocities, two very important aspects of Diablo wind flow are the warming and drying of the air as it descends the ▇▇▇ of the mountain range (▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2018). The ▇▇▇▇▇ and Nuns fires of October 2017 burned under Diablo wind conditions. During the evening of October 8th and early morning hours of October 9th, winds were sustained at 26 miles per hour with gusts as high as 68 miles per hour. The average temperature and relative humidity for this period were 70° Fahrenheit and 6%. Diablo wind events are most frequent in the fall when fuel moistures are at their lowest levels, greatly increasing fire spread (Figure 15).
