Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 361 km² of Saïda at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 34 km², ranking 37th of 48 regions of Algeria.
Year by year
Detected area per year, km². Area of 0.01° cells with at least one detection in the year.
The busiest year was 2014, with 116 km² detected; the quietest was 2024, with 7.1 km². The 2021–2025 average is 86% lower than the 2012–2016 average.
Through the year
Share of all fire-days 2012–2025 by month. A fire-day is one cell with a detection on one day.
July, August and September together hold 45% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 26 July 2020, with detections in 23 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 361 km² with at least one detection, 3.7% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 317 | 88% |
| 2 years | 30 | 8.4% |
| 3 to 5 years | 6.1 | 1.7% |
| 6 to 10 years | 3.0 | 0.8% |
| 11 years or more | 4.1 | 1.1% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 34.75, 0.25 and holds 86% of the region's fire-days.

- How these figures are madeDetected area, cells, and the single-satellite record.
Detected area counts every 0.01° cell with at least one VIIRS detection, so a small fire counts as a whole cell and a fire missed by cloud or between passes is absent. Borders: Natural Earth 1:10m. 2012 begins on 20 January.
