What’s new

Version 8.0 · Updated June 20, 2026

Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) A new VPD card now appears on every station's home screen. VPD measures how aggressively the atmosphere is pulling moisture from fuels — often a better single indicator of fire danger than relative humidity alone. The card shows the current reading in kPa with a color-coded risk scale (Low → Moderate → High → Extreme), a 24-hour trend chart, and a research-backed explainer covering wildland fire science, operational thresholds, and key studies from Williams, Seager, and Sedano & Randerson. Smoother Scrolling Fixed a rendering glitch that caused the station card view to jump or stutter when scrolling on stations with fire danger gauge data. Scrolling is now consistently smooth across all station types. Card Layout Improvements Reorganized the home screen card order for a more logical flow: Temperature and Humidity side by side, Fuel Temperature and Fuel Moisture together, followed by Soil and VPD as full-width cards. Bug Fixes • Fixed 24-hour history charts not loading VPD trend data • Soil graph time axis now displays clean, evenly-spaced hour labels
