Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 352 km² of Baku at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 47 km², ranking 24th of 78 regions of Azerbaijan.
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 2019, with 58 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 35 km². The 2021–2025 average is 12% higher 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.
June, July and August together hold 39% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 17 June 2018, with detections in 10 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 352 km² with at least one detection, 14% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 246 | 70% |
| 2 years | 58 | 16% |
| 3 to 5 years | 33 | 9.4% |
| 6 to 10 years | 6.5 | 1.8% |
| 11 years or more | 8.5 | 2.4% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 40.25, 49.25 and holds 53% 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.
