Summary/Abstract
The report provides a detailed examination of the forest fires in Sweden in 2018, emphasizing the role of climate change in exacerbating fire weather conditions. Utilizing a multi-model approach with data from ERA-Interim, ERA5, JRA-55, and MERRA-2 reanalyses, along with EC-Earth, CESM, and Weather@Home climate models, the study quantifies the effects of anthropogenic climate change on fire weather. The analysis concludes that the probability of such extreme fire weather has slightly increased due to past global warming and will continue to rise with further temperature increases.
