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 2022, with 18,220 km² detected; the quietest was 2024, with 637 km². The 2021–2025 average is 28% higher 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 91% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 11 April 2012, with detections in 5,160 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 66,610 km² with at least one detection, 15% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 38,530 | 58% |
| 2 years | 18,380 | 28% |
| 3 to 5 years | 9,450 | 14% |
| 6 to 10 years | 240 | 0.4% |
| 11 years or more | 6.4 | 0.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 55.75, 77.75 and holds 2.7% 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.
