Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 107 km² of Giresun at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 8.0 km², ranking 76th of 81 regions of Turkey.
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 2016, with 17 km² detected; the quietest was 2014, with 3.7 km². The 2021–2025 average is 30% 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 41% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 29 February 2024, with detections in 4 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 107 km² with at least one detection, 0.8% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 104 | 97% |
| 2 years | 1.9 | 1.8% |
| 3 to 5 years | 0.9 | 0.8% |
| 6 to 10 years | 0.0 | 0.0% |
| 11 years or more | 0.0 | 0.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 40.25, 38.25 and holds 34% 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.
