Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 971 km² of Cagliari at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 115 km², ranking 28th of 110 regions of Italy.
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 2012, with 174 km² detected; the quietest was 2018, with 46 km². The 2021–2025 average is 14% lower than the 2012–2016 average.
Through the year

- 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.
