Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 22,770 km² of Monagas at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 6,380 km², ranking 5th 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 11,340 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 3,180 km². The 2021–2025 average is 40% 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.
February, March and April together hold 42% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 14 April 2020, with detections in 440 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 22,770 km² with at least one detection, 66% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |

- 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.
