Fire history, 2012–2025
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 8,560 km² of Croatia at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 833 km², ranking 120th 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 2012, with 2,270 km² detected; the quietest was 2023, with 216 km². The 2021–2025 average is 51% 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.
February, March and April together hold 47% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 17 March 2012, with detections in 240 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 8,560 km² with at least one detection, 7.0% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 6,470 | 76% |
| 2 years | 1,490 | 17% |

- 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.
