Wildfires in Australia
Situation over the last 30 days
2802 fires detected in Australia over the last 30 days, totalling 4,247,346 hectares of cumulative footprint. The latest satellite detection (NASA FIRMS) dates from October 21 at 07:37 PM.
The fire season in Australia runs from December to February in the South-East, where eucalypts, heat and northerly winds make the fiercest fires, and through the dry season in the tropical North, where grass fires run over millions of hectares.

These figures come from satellite thermal detection and are not an official tally: only the emergency services of the country concerned are authoritative. The detected footprint overstates the area actually burnt, a pixel counting whole (375 m for VIIRS, 1 km for MODIS) when only an edge burns. A freshly detected fire may not yet carry a place name and will then not appear in this list, though it is already on the map.
