Active fires in Thailand

Satellites detected 31 thermal hotspots in Thailand in the last 48 h, grouped into 22 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.

The most active fire is 135 km S of Lampang with 3 detections and a peak of 10 MW, last seen Sat 1:18 pm local time.

By region, Pathum Thani has 4 clusters (8 detections), Lampang has 5 clusters (7 detections), Ubon Ratchathani has 4 clusters (6 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.
