Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 38,440 km² of Sindh at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 6,240 km², ranking 2nd of 8 regions of Pakistan.
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 2014, with 7,130 km² detected; the quietest was 2019, with 5,380 km². The 2021–2025 average is 11% 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.
December, January and February together hold 47% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 9 February 2017, with detections in 176 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 38,440 km² with at least one detection, 31% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 17,590 | 46% |
| 2 years | 8,840 | 23% |
| 3 to 5 years | 9,730 | 25% |
| 6 to 10 years | 2,170 | 5.7% |
| 11 years or more | 106 | 0.3% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 25.25, 68.75 and holds 9.5% 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.
