Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 6,820 km² of Delta Amacuro at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 1,210 km², ranking 19th of 25 regions of Venezuela.
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 2024, with 3,920 km² detected; the quietest was 2021, with 302 km². The 2021–2025 average is 11% higher 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.
March, April and May together hold 79% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 29 April 2019, with detections in 250 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 6,820 km² with at least one detection, 34% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 3,020 | 44% |
| 2 years | 1,480 | 22% |
| 3 to 5 years | 1,690 | 25% |
| 6 to 10 years | 600 | 8.8% |
| 11 years or more | 32 | 0.5% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 9.25, -62.25 and holds 21% 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.
