i could find alot of useful info at this link

This dataset was first introduced in datamining paper by Paulo Cortez and An´ıbal Morais, and the data was published at at this website
-
The forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) is the Canadian system for rating fire danger and it includes six components :
1- Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC) which denotes the moisture content surface litter and influences ignition and fire spread
2,3- Duff Moisture Code (DMC) and Drought Code (DC) which represent the moisture content of shallow and deep organic layers
5- Initial Spread Index (ISI) which is is a score that correlates with fire velocity spread
6- Buildup Index (BUI) which represents the amount of available fuel (ex. grass and leaves)
-
the first three components are calculated using dataset features like rain, temprature, wind and relative humidity
-
ISI is calculated from wind and FFMC
-
the rest was dropped by the dataset provider the reason he has suggested : "The BUI and FWI were discarded since they are depen-dent of the previous value"

X and Y represent a square region of 9x9 grids which represents Montesinho Natural Park
The Following table was privided in the paper:
| Attribute Description | |
|---|---|
| X | x-axis coordinate (from 1 to 9) |
| Y | y-axis coordinate (from 1 to 9) |
| month | Month of the year (January to December) |
| day | Day of the week (Monday to Sunday) |
| FFMC | FFMC code |
| DMC | DMC code |
| DC | DC code |
| ISI | ISI inde |
| temp | Outside temperature (in ◦C) |
| RH | Outside relative humidity (in %) |
| wind | Outside wind speed (in km/h) |
| rain | Outside rain (in mm/m2) |
| area | Total burned area (in ha) ha = 100 m2 |
