+📦 Dataset Card: CA_Weather_Fire_Dataset_Cleaned
+# Dataset Summary
+  This dataset contains cleaned and preprocessed weather and fire incident data for California (1984–2025). It includes features such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, fire occurrence, and seasonal indicators. The dataset is intended for use in machine learning tasks related to wildfire prediction and environmental analysis. 
+
+## Features
+  - DAY_OF_YEAR (float): The numeric day within the year (1–365/366).
+  - MONTH (float): The calendar month of the observation (1–12).
+  - YEAR (float): The year of the observation.
+  - SEASON (float): Encoded season (1.0 = Winter, 2.0 = Spring, 3.0 = Summer, 4.0 = Fall)
+  - PRECIPITATION (float):  Daily precipitation in inches.
+  - LAGGED_PRECIPITATION (float): Cumulative precipitation over the preceding 7 days, reflecting recent moisture conditions.
+  - AVG_WIND_SPEED (float): Average daily wind speed in mph.
+  - LAGGED_AVG_WIND_SPEED (float):  Average wind speed over the preceding 7 days, indicating sustained wind patterns.
+  - WIND_TEMP_RATIO (float): The ratio of average wind speed to maximum temperature, capturing wind-temperature dynamics.
+  - MIN_TEMP (float): Minimum daily temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
+  - TEMP_RANGE (float): The difference between maximum and minimum temperatures, indicating daily temperature variability.
+  - FIRE_START_DAY (float):  Binary indicator of fire occurrence (1.0 for fire, 0.0 for no fire)
+  - MAX_TEMP (float): Maximum daily temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
