Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,120 km² of Ciudad Real at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 100 km², ranking 16th 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 160 km² detected; the quietest was 2018, with 68 km². The 2021–2025 average is within 5% of 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.
June, July and August together hold 37% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 26 July 2022, with detections in 39 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 1,120 km² with at least one detection, 4.5% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |

| 1 year | 991 | 88% |
| 2 years | 81 | 7.2% |
| 3 to 5 years | 40 | 3.6% |
| 6 to 10 years | 4.9 | 0.4% |
| 11 years or more | 4.9 | 0.4% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 38.75, -4.25 and holds 46% 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.
