Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,420 km² of Gilan at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 138 km², ranking 23rd of 31 regions of Iran.
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 2023, with 207 km² detected; the quietest was 2024, with 84 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.
August, September and October together hold 37% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 26 November 2023, with detections in 59 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 1,420 km² with at least one detection, 6.3% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,140 | 80% |
| 2 years | 195 | 14% |
| 3 to 5 years | 74 | 5.2% |
| 6 to 10 years | 5.9 | 0.4% |
| 11 years or more | 9.0 | 0.6% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 36.75, 49.75 and holds 35% 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.
