Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 133 km² of Moravian-Silesian at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 31 km², ranking 1st of 14 regions of Czech Republic.
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 2018, with 42 km² detected; the quietest was 2024, with 18 km². The 2021–2025 average is 27% 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.
June, July and August together hold 39% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 12 September 2016, with detections in 13 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 133 km² with at least one detection, 29% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 82 | 62% |
| 2 years | 12 | 9.0% |
| 3 to 5 years | 13 | 10% |
| 6 to 10 years | 9.6 | 7.2% |
| 11 years or more | 16 | 12% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 49.75, 18.75 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.
