## 🌟 Overview
Forest fires pose a significant threat to ecosystems, wildlife, and human settlements. This project leverages machine learning to predict the Fire Weather Index (FWI), a critical metric used by fire management agencies to assess fire danger levels. By analyzing meteorological and environmental factors, the system provides real-time predictions to aid in fire prevention and resource allocation.
### What is FWI?
The Fire Weather Index (FWI) is a numeric rating of fire intensity. It combines various factors including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rainfall to produce a comprehensive fire danger rating. Higher FWI values indicate greater fire danger.
