Forest Fire Area

Content

The dataset contains 517 fires from the Montesinho Natural Park in Portugal. For each incident weekday, month, coordinates, and the burnt area are recorded, as well as several meteorological data such as rain, temperature, humidity, and wind. The workflow reads the data and trains a regression model based on the spatial, temporal, and weather variables.
