Abstract

The behaviour and progress of a forestal fire are straight related with the so called forestal fire triangle, namely with the meteorological parameters: temperature, humidity and wind.

This is a contribution that helps to be possible to make a simple diagnosis in order to know and explain meteorological conditions by means of use of meteorological charts near surface.

Here are given several internet sites which permit to access to synoptical meteorological charts as well as to its physical explanation according the diagnostic values.
