Summary
To conclude this chapter we can state that the mean sea level pressure chart helps define the flow near the ground. The 850 hPa temperature chart shows pools of warm air in the lower troposphere and the geopotential at 500 hPa defines the configuration at medium levels, allowing the identification of stationary ridges. However, you may have had some difficulties in choosing the correct fire map only by looking at these relevant weather charts. In fact, forest fires also depend on other factors, as you will see in the next chapter.
