Fire weather is projected to increase in frequency, severity and duration for southern and eastern Australia  and most of New Zealand  , with projected increases in pyro-convection risk for parts of southern Australia  and increased dry-lightning and fire ignition for southeast Australia . Increased fire risk in spring may reduce opportunities for prescribed fuel-reduction burning in some regions . Fuel dryness is a key constraint on wildfire occurrence . Vegetation change will affect fuel load and fire risk in different areas in complex ways .
