In considering the above, it is important to understand the frequency of more extreme fire weather
days in South East Queensland. The number of days per decade on which an FFDI of 50 (Severe) is
exceeded is 11.7 days, and an FDI of 75 (Extreme to Catastrophic) is exceeded only 0.9 days of
each decade (Lucas, 2007). The influence of climate change may alter these statistics into the future
however at present, this data accurately indicates the current risk profile prosed by such fire weather
conditions.
