Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 3,840 km² of Coclé at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 900 km², ranking 3rd of 12 regions of Panama.
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 2023, with 1,290 km² detected; the quietest was 2025, with 544 km². The 2021–2025 average is 7.4% 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.
February, March and April together hold 90% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 31 March 2014, with detections in 124 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 3,840 km² with at least one detection, 55% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 914 | 24% |
| 2 years | 806 | 21% |
| 3 to 5 years | 1,520 | 39% |
| 6 to 10 years | 592 | 15% |
| 11 years or more | 15 | 0.4% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 8.75, -80.25 and holds 34% 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.
