Wildfires in India
Situation over the last 30 days
1443 fires detected in India over the last 30 days, totalling 258,891 hectares of cumulative footprint. The latest satellite detection (NASA FIRMS) dates from October 22 at 04:10 PM.
Fires in India follow the farming calendar and the spring drought: stubble burning after harvests, steppe and forest fires from March to June, then a second wave in autumn. Agricultural detections are numerous and often short-lived.

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.
