Fires near Beibei right now

No VIIRS thermal hotspots were detected within 80 km of Beibei, Chongqing, China in the last 24 h. The nearest detection cluster is about 260 km NW (14 km NNW of Luojiang), with 1 detection. A clear result only covers satellite passes: small fires, fires under cloud and fires that start after the last overpass will not show yet.

Across China there are 803 fire clusters in the same window.

Smoke and wind

Wind at Beibei is from the SSE at 2 km/h (gusts 8 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NNW. Relative humidity is 95% and the temperature 21°C.

Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Beibei 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.
