Šumarski list br. 7-8, CXXV (2001). 367-378 SUMMARY: The weather conditions, which were essential for increasing and decreasing of potential danger for starting and spreading of the forest fire, on the coastal area of Croatia during the period June-September 2000 have been analysed. The comparison of the summer 2000 with the same period 1999 has been shown that the summer 2000 was exceptionally. Deficit of precipitation amount has already recorded during the spring 2000. The rain absented mainly on the coastal meteorological stations in August 2000. The dry period lasted longer than 35 days. A stronger wind in relation to the usually wind regime hastened to dry up a forest fuel. The weather conditions increased extremely the forest fire danger, not only on the coastal and island areas, as well in hinterland of Croatia. This is evident from comparison of the seasonal severity rating between 1999 and 2000. The severe forest fire during 2000 broke out in August. Due to special weather conditions in August the initial spread index, ISI and fire weather index, FWI, show that these forest fires were the most danger forest fire types -crown fire.
