Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 52,800 km² of Jalisco at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 10,370 km², ranking 4th of 32 regions of Mexico.
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 2017, with 15,660 km² detected; the quietest was 2014, with 5,620 km². The 2021–2025 average is 5.3% 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 77% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 18 May 2016, with detections in 401 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 52,800 km² with at least one detection, 43% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 18,030 | 34% |
| 2 years | 12,090 | 23% |
| 3 to 5 years | 17,190 | 33% |
| 6 to 10 years | 5,350 | 10% |
| 11 years or more | 126 | 0.2% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 19.75, -104.75 and holds 7.2% 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.
