Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 467 km² of Qom at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 64 km², ranking 28th 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 94 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 45 km². The 2021–2025 average is 38% 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.
April, May and June together hold 32% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 29 May 2020, with detections in 9 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 467 km² with at least one detection, 19% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 319 | 68% |
| 2 years | 61 | 13% |
| 3 to 5 years | 58 | 12% |
| 6 to 10 years | 16 | 3.5% |
| 11 years or more | 12 | 2.6% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 34.25, 50.75 and holds 47% 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.
