Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,460 km² of Manatuto at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 486 km², ranking 1st 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 817 km² detected; the quietest was 2016, with 152 km². The 2021–2025 average is 38% 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 84% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 19 September 2014, with detections in 61 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 1,460 km² with at least one detection, 73% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 213 | 15% |
| 2 years | 187 | 13% |
| 3 to 5 years | 536 | 37% |
| 6 to 10 years | 468 | 32% |
| 11 years or more | 51 | 3.5% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -8.75, 125.75 and holds 58% 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.
