Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 59,600 km² of Uíge at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 39,980 km², ranking 7th of 18 regions of Angola.
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 2025, with 41,810 km² detected; the quietest was 2022, with 36,960 km². The 2021–2025 average is within 5% of 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.
June, July and August together hold 62% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 11 June 2012, with detections in 1,623 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 59,600 km² with at least one detection, 96% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,130 | 1.9% |
| 2 years | 1,090 | 1.8% |
| 3 to 5 years | 5,200 | 8.7% |
| 6 to 10 years | 26,500 | 44% |
| 11 years or more | 25,680 | 43% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -7.25, 15.75 and holds 7.4% 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.
