Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 47,040 km² of Shandong at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 5,980 km², ranking 11th of 31 regions of China.
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 2012, with 9,060 km² detected; the quietest was 2022, with 3,160 km². The 2021–2025 average is 46% 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.
April, May and June together hold 33% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 12 June 2012, with detections in 1,088 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 47,040 km² with at least one detection, 17% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 29,650 | 63% |
| 2 years | 9,600 | 20% |
| 3 to 5 years | 6,300 | 13% |
| 6 to 10 years | 1,150 | 2.4% |
| 11 years or more | 341 | 0.7% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 36.25, 117.75 and holds 8.8% 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.
