Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,220 km² of Manufahi at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 396 km², ranking 2nd 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 810 km² detected; the quietest was 2024, with 113 km². The 2021–2025 average is 53% 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.
September, October and November together hold 84% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 23 September 2012, with detections in 68 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 1,220 km² with at least one detection, 75% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 159 | 13% |
| 2 years | 148 | 12% |
| 3 to 5 years | 503 | 41% |
| 6 to 10 years | 377 | 31% |
| 11 years or more | 32 | 2.6% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -9.25, 125.75 and holds 56% 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.
