Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 87 km² of Zeeland at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 17 km², ranking 6th of 15 regions of Netherlands.
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 2019, with 22 km² detected; the quietest was 2024, with 9.3 km². The 2021–2025 average is 6.3% lower 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.
June, July and August together hold 38% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 27 June 2015, with detections in 7 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 87 km² with at least one detection, 29% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 49 | 57% |
| 2 years | 12 | 14% |
| 3 to 5 years | 15 | 18% |
| 6 to 10 years | 4.6 | 5.3% |
| 11 years or more | 5.4 | 6.2% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 51.25, 3.75 and holds 64% 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.
