Wildfires in Cyprus
Situation over the last 30 days
6 fires detected in Cyprus over the last 30 days, totalling 265 hectares of cumulative footprint. The latest satellite detection (NASA FIRMS) dates from October 2 at 01:41 AM.
The fire season in Cyprus runs from June to September, when Mediterranean vegetation is dry and strong winds drive the fronts. Most ignitions are human in origin, and the largest footprints form within hours under a steady wind.

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.
