  abstract = {[Excerpt: Introduction] Forest fires are strongly linked to weather and climate (Flannigan and Harrington, 1988; Johnson, 1992; Swetnam, 1993). Fire has been an integral ecological process since the arrival of vegetation on the landscape. For the purposes of this chapter, we will define weather as short-term processes that result in variations in the atmospheric conditions ranging from minutes to a fire season. Processes that influence the atmosphere over time periods longer than a fire season will be defined as climate. There are several factors that control the climate and weather at any one location. These factors include variations in solar radiation due to latitude, distribution of continents and oceans, atmospheric pressure and wind systems, ocean currents, major terrain features, proximity to water bodies, and local features including topography (see Trewartha and Horn, 1980, for more details). As climate varies, the corresponding weather variables can vary in magnitude and direction.

[] The objective of this chapter is to highlight the connection between climate/ weather and the area burned by forest fires. We have used examples primarily from Canada or North America to illustrate our points. This chapter is divided into sections that describe the relationships between surface weather and area burned, upper air features and area burned, and teleconnections and area burned. We also try to identify key knowledge gaps in the fire and weather/ climate relationship. This chapter closes with a short discussion on how global change might influence forest fire activity and area burned in the 21st century.
