So far I know the last update in September 2021 , The Canadian Wildland Fire Information System (CWFIS) provided fire weather data and maps for Canada but did not offer a direct download option for historical data in a .nc (NetCDF) file format or other continuous historical formats on their website.

To obtain historical fire weather data for Canada, you may need to explore other sources or contact relevant authorities or organizations, such as Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) or the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC). Here are some steps you can consider:

Contact the Data Provider: Reach out to the CWFIS or the relevant government agency (e.g., NRCAN) to inquire about the availability of historical fire weather data in a format you require. They may have specific procedures or data access points for researchers or those interested in historical data.

Check Data Repositories: Search for government data repositories or academic institutions that might host historical fire weather data for Canada. Sometimes, historical climate and fire weather data are available through these channels.

Consider Alternative Data Sources: specific data you need from CWFIS or government sources, consider alternative sources of climate and fire weather data, such as international climate datasets or global climate reanalysis datasets. Organizations like NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) often provide access to such data.

Data Conversion: If you cannot obtain the data in a .nc (NetCDF) format directly, you may need to convert the data from its original format into NetCDF. Tools like Python with libraries like xarray and netCDF4 can be helpful for this purpose.

yeah, I am trying to calculate the fire weather variables from the normal weather variables using some R library package fwi, but its kind of tedious.
