Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,970 km² of Arkhangelsk at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 198 km², ranking 73rd of 85 regions of Russian Federation.
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 2013, with 434 km² detected; the quietest was 2020, with 104 km². The 2021–2025 average is 42% 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.
April, May and June together hold 60% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 9 May 2015, with detections in 58 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 1,970 km² with at least one detection, 8.5% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,580 | 80% |
| 2 years | 227 | 12% |
| 3 to 5 years | 134 | 6.8% |
| 6 to 10 years | 26 | 1.3% |
| 11 years or more | 7.2 | 0.4% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 61.25, 42.25 and holds 8.6% 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.
