Adjust Critical Time diurnal calculations #1158

Closed tessmgood closed 3 years ago

tessmgood commented 3 years ago

Assumption that fire weather indices were for 13:00 was incorrect, they are for peak burning time of 17:00. This means our diurnal calculations for Critical Time were off, and in some cases providing critical hours, suggesting a FBA is issued, for days that the HFI would not cross the 4,000 threshold at peak burning time.

  1. Modify calculation
  2. Modify copy in disclaimer box, using language similar to Fire Behaviour Forecast templates (1300 hrs Wx and FWI Indices for 1700 hrs) to replace the Solar Noon Outputs copy.
