Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 3,060 km² of Guairá at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 690 km², ranking 16th of 18 regions of Paraguay.
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 2020, with 978 km² detected; the quietest was 2015, with 492 km². The 2021–2025 average is 17% 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.
July, August and September together hold 51% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 1 October 2019, with detections in 45 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 3,060 km² with at least one detection, 51% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 855 | 28% |
| 2 years | 651 | 21% |
| 3 to 5 years | 1,100 | 36% |
| 6 to 10 years | 434 | 14% |
| 11 years or more | 20 | 0.7% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -25.75, -56.25 and holds 42% 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.
