Fires near Cabo Frio right now

No VIIRS thermal hotspots were detected within 80 km of Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the last 24 h. The nearest detection cluster is about 249 km ENE (remote Espírito Santo, 150 km SSE of Guarapari), with 2 detections. 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 Brazil there are 1,409 fire clusters in the same window.

Smoke and wind

Wind at Cabo Frio is from the WSW at 16 km/h (gusts 28 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the ENE. Relative humidity is 92% and the temperature 23°C.

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