Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 2,290 km² of Cáceres at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 206 km², ranking 7th of 52 regions of Spain.
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 2025, with 552 km² detected; the quietest was 2024, with 108 km². The 2021–2025 average is 33% 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.
July, August and September together hold 48% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 19 May 2023, with detections in 147 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 2,290 km² with at least one detection, 4.5% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,860 | 81% |
| 2 years | 332 | 15% |
| 3 to 5 years | 97 | 4.2% |
| 6 to 10 years | 3.9 | 0.2% |
| 11 years or more | 1.0 | 0.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 40.25, -5.75 and holds 24% 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.
