Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 483 km² of Yunlin at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 57 km², ranking 4th of 21 regions of Taiwan.
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 2015, with 86 km² detected; the quietest was 2016, with 33 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.
February, March and April together hold 35% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 29 April 2020, with detections in 7 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 483 km² with at least one detection, 16% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 305 | 63% |
| 2 years | 102 | 21% |
| 3 to 5 years | 69 | 14% |
| 6 to 10 years | 4.5 | 0.9% |
| 11 years or more | 2.2 | 0.5% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 23.75, 120.25 and holds 89% 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.
