• Nevertheless, the decades-long drop in fire frequency and extent in leeward zones has probably allowed fuels to accumulate.

• We analysed variation in fire frequency by climate, elevation and aspect (windward and leeward of the central massif).

• In the drier leeward areas, however, fire frequency and extent appear lower than pre-1900 levels.

• Zones (windward and leeward) were designated in respect to the central massif whose orographic influences result in a marked precipitation gradient.

• The porosity in-uenced drag and wind speed leeward of the windbreaks drastically.

• The rugged relief supports marked local variations in rainfall between the windward (east) and leeward (west) sides.
