Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 16,920 km² of Arunachal Pradesh at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 3,030 km², ranking 23rd of 35 regions of India.
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 4,370 km² detected; the quietest was 2020, with 2,130 km². The 2021–2025 average is 32% 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 62% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 26 March 2016, with detections in 465 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 16,920 km² with at least one detection, 37% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 6,680 | 40% |
| 2 years | 3,940 | 23% |
| 3 to 5 years | 4,920 | 29% |
| 6 to 10 years | 1,300 | 7.7% |
| 11 years or more | 68 | 0.4% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 27.75, 96.25 and holds 14% 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.
