Rings at 50 and 150 km — the same two the counts above use. The blue mark is the coastal point every sea reading on this page is taken at. The rose is the 72-hour mean wind, pointing the way the air is going. Each layer above is its own address, so a view can be shared. Coastline from Natural Earth at 110 m — regional context, not a survey.

When this ground actually burns
Across the last 10 years our archive records 26 days within 25 km of Recife on which fire covered five or more separate square kilometres. By month:
The busiest month in the record is November, with 9 of those days. Counting any burning at all gives 1,028 days and peaks in November: outside summer most Mediterranean detections are agricultural, so that series measures farming rather than fire risk.
375 m heat signatures, about three hours behind the satellite, two passes a day. For evacuation, follow local emergency services.

Surface temperature for 2026-10-11, sampled 15 km offshore.
Open-Meteo marine model
Vector mean of the last 72 hours: from the SE at 12 km/h, pushing surface water onto southeast-facing shores.
At the coastal point stored for this destination, which lies 180° from the centre, that is a slack component of +7.4 km/h, onshore in 100% of those hours.

NOAA publishes a Sargassum Inundation Risk map for the Caribbean and the Gulf, updated daily. It measures the water offshore; wind decides which of it reaches the sand.
Wind over the last 72 hours has been from the SE at 12 km/h, pushing surface water onto southeast-facing shores.
