Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,300 km² of Isingiro at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 197 km², ranking 53rd of 112 regions of Uganda.
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 2013, with 382 km² detected; the quietest was 2017, with 90 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.
July, August and September together hold 75% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 27 August 2013, with detections in 29 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 1,300 km² with at least one detection, 28% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 606 | 47% |
| 2 years | 332 | 26% |
| 3 to 5 years | 302 | 23% |
| 6 to 10 years | 56 | 4.3% |
| 11 years or more | 1.2 | 0.1% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -0.75, 30.75 and holds 62% 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.
