Fires near Al Manzalah right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 23 thermal hotspots in 12 separate clusters within 80 km of Al Manzalah, Dakahlia, Egypt in the last 48 h. The closest is 25 km NNW of the city centre (6 km S of Damietta), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 3 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
None of the clusters is within 25 km of the centre, so the city itself is not in the immediate fire area, but smoke can travel hundreds of kilometres.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 27 km NE (12 km WNW of Az-Zuhūr) with 3 detections; first seen Sun 2 am and last seen Sun 2 am local time.
Across Egypt there are 90 fire clusters in the same window, 5 of them in Dakahlia.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Al Manzalah is from the NNW at 5 km/h (gusts 10 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSE. Relative humidity is 88% and the temperature 20°C.
Al Manzalah is roughly downwind of the nearest fire, so smoke and haze are likely; check the air quality page before spending time outdoors.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Al Manzalah air quality page has the live reading.
Evacuations and official information
GodsView shows satellite detections only. It does not know fire perimeters, containment or evacuation zones. Always follow evacuation orders from local authorities.
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.
About satellite fire detections
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.
Fire radiative power (FRP) is the heat a fire gives off, in megawatts per pixel: under 10 MW is usually a small or smouldering fire, over 100 MW an intense flaming front.
