Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,090 km² of Wele-Nzas at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 190 km², ranking 2nd of 7 regions of Equatorial Guinea.
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 2022, with 259 km² detected; the quietest was 2017, with 118 km². The 2021–2025 average is 28% 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.
January, February and March together hold 70% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 10 February 2020, with detections in 30 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 1,090 km² with at least one detection, 37% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 438 | 40% |
| 2 years | 254 | 23% |
| 3 to 5 years | 331 | 30% |
| 6 to 10 years | 69 | 6.3% |
| 11 years or more | 2.5 | 0.2% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 1.75, 10.75 and holds 56% 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.
