Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 16,850 km² of Misiones at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 3,560 km², ranking 8th of 24 regions of Argentina.
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 2020, with 4,800 km² detected; the quietest was 2015, with 2,570 km². The 2021–2025 average is 13% 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 57% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 10 August 2020, with detections in 417 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 16,850 km² with at least one detection, 45% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 5,480 | 33% |
| 2 years | 3,810 | 23% |
| 3 to 5 years | 5,360 | 32% |
| 6 to 10 years | 2,040 | 12% |
| 11 years or more | 162 | 1.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -27.25, -54.25 and holds 14% 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.
