Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 426 km² of Hanoi at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 60 km², ranking 52nd of 63 regions of Vietnam.
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 2023, with 86 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 37 km². The 2021–2025 average is 16% 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.
May, June and July together hold 37% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 4 July 2018, with detections in 19 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 426 km² with at least one detection, 23% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 265 | 62% |
| 2 years | 64 | 15% |
| 3 to 5 years | 73 | 17% |
| 6 to 10 years | 21 | 4.9% |
| 11 years or more | 3.6 | 0.8% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 20.75, 105.75 and holds 49% 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.
