Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 383 km² of Imereti at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 44 km², ranking 9th of 12 regions of Georgia.
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 2014, with 70 km² detected; the quietest was 2023, with 19 km². The 2021–2025 average is 39% 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.
August, September and October together hold 29% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 10 March 2020, with detections in 16 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 383 km² with at least one detection, 11% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 291 | 76% |
| 2 years | 50 | 13% |
| 3 to 5 years | 32 | 8.4% |
| 6 to 10 years | 2.7 | 0.7% |
| 11 years or more | 7.3 | 1.9% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 42.25, 43.25 and holds 58% 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.
