Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 2,440 km² of Hamadan at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 298 km², ranking 14th 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 2024, with 944 km² detected; the quietest was 2021, with 76 km². The 2021–2025 average is 18% 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.
July, August and September together hold 59% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 15 August 2024, with detections in 21 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 2,440 km² with at least one detection, 14% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,700 | 70% |
| 2 years | 389 | 16% |
| 3 to 5 years | 249 | 10% |
| 6 to 10 years | 91 | 3.7% |
| 11 years or more | 8.1 | 0.3% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 34.25, 48.25 and holds 26% 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.
