Wildfires in Turkey
Situation over the last 30 days
1493 fires detected in Turkey over the last 30 days, totalling 315,658 hectares of cumulative footprint. The latest satellite detection (NASA FIRMS) dates from October 11 at 03:09 AM.
The fire season in Turkey 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.
