Moisture content.
Five factors relating to the weather - answerTRAPW
Temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric stability, precipitation, wind speed and
direction.
Five topographic factors important to wildland fire behavior - answerEPASS
Elevation, position on slope, aspect, shape of the country, steepness of the slope.
For primary factors that affect the ignition of Worland feels - answer-Size and shape of
fuels
