Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 2,050 km² of Hormozgan at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 275 km², ranking 16th 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 2020, with 449 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 193 km². The 2021–2025 average is 44% 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.
October, November and December together hold 28% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 16 June 2025, with detections in 33 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 2,050 km² with at least one detection, 17% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,330 | 65% |
| 2 years | 373 | 18% |
| 3 to 5 years | 262 | 13% |
| 6 to 10 years | 61 | 3.0% |
| 11 years or more | 31 | 1.5% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 27.25, 56.25 and holds 39% 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.
