Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 49,230 km² of Gujarat at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 7,300 km², ranking 14th 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 2018, with 8,590 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 5,530 km². The 2021–2025 average is 17% 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.
February, March and April together hold 52% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 23 March 2016, with detections in 231 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 49,230 km² with at least one detection, 24% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 27,590 | 56% |
| 2 years | 9,880 | 20% |
| 3 to 5 years | 8,870 | 18% |
| 6 to 10 years | 2,600 | 5.3% |
| 11 years or more | 294 | 0.6% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 21.25, 72.75 and holds 12% 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.
