Meteorologists use weather data to predict the probability of a catastrophic wildfire by analyzing various factors. They study the temperature, humidity, and wind patterns, as these play a crucial role in the spread of wildfires. By monitoring the atmospheric conditions, they can determine if the weather conditions are favorable for a wildfire to ignite and spread rapidly. Additionally, they also examine the presence of dry vegetation and the amount of precipitation to assess the overall fire risk in a particular area.
