Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 3,800 km² of Beheira at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 446 km², ranking 3rd of 27 regions of Egypt.
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 2013, with 597 km² detected; the quietest was 2018, with 319 km². The 2021–2025 average is within 5% of 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.
August, September and October together hold 35% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 14 October 2013, with detections in 30 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 3,800 km² with at least one detection, 14% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 2,440 | 64% |

- 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.
