Active fires in Sudan

Satellites detected 1,514 thermal hotspots in Sudan in the last 24 h, grouped into 269 fire clusters. 3 clusters reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.

The most active fire is remote Southern Darfur, 162 km S of Gereida with 61 detections and a peak of 50 MW, last seen Sun 2:42 pm local time.

By region, Southern Darfur has 112 clusters (674 detections), Blue Nile has 59 clusters (369 detections), West Kordofan has 27 clusters (190 detections).

Fires are assigned to the country of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can appear under the neighbour.

Official information

The Global Wildfire Information System, GWIS (gwis.jrc.ec.europa.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas worldwide; evacuation orders come from national civil protection and local authorities.

Satellite thermal hotspots are not all wildfires: gas flares, steel works, volcanoes and planned agricultural or prescribed burns show up too. VIIRS passes over most places about twice a day, so a fire can start or grow between passes, and thick smoke or cloud can hide one.
