Detected · VIIRS S-NPP 375 m · 0.01° cells (~1.1 km) · complete years 2012–2025 · built 2026-09-21
Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 7,130 km² of Armenia at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 812 km², ranking 122nd of 200 countries.
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 1,350 km² detected; the quietest was 2020, with 436 km². The 2021–2025 average is 11% 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.
September, October and November together hold 47% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 22 November 2025, with detections in 98 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 7,130 km² with at least one detection, 14% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 4,700 | 66% |
| 2 years | 1,460 | 21% |
| 3 to 5 years | 876 | 12% |
| 6 to 10 years | 90 | 1.3% |
| 11 years or more | 7.5 | 0.1% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 40.25, 44.25 and holds 16% of the country'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.
