Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 528 km² of Yazd at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 90 km², ranking 25th 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 126 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 60 km². The 2021–2025 average is 58% 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 34% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 15 October 2025, with detections in 21 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 528 km² with at least one detection, 23% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |

| 1 year | 340 | 64% |
| 2 years | 66 | 13% |
| 3 to 5 years | 62 | 12% |
| 6 to 10 years | 38 | 7.2% |
| 11 years or more | 22 | 4.2% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 31.75, 54.25 and holds 37% 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.
