Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,150 km² of Bobonaro at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 276 km², ranking 4th of 13 regions of Timor-Leste.
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 2014, with 459 km² detected; the quietest was 2022, with 76 km². The 2021–2025 average is 36% 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.
August, September and October together hold 80% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 26 August 2020, with detections in 26 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 1,150 km² with at least one detection, 54% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 284 | 25% |
| 2 years | 244 | 21% |
| 3 to 5 years | 417 | 36% |
| 6 to 10 years | 189 | 16% |
| 11 years or more | 12 | 1.1% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -8.75, 125.25 and holds 49% 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.
