Fires near Chuzhou right now

No VIIRS thermal hotspots were detected within 80 km of Chuzhou, Anhui, China in the last 48 h. The nearest detection cluster is about 111 km NNW (57 km N of Mingguang), 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 854 fire clusters in the same window, 6 of them in Anhui.

Smoke and wind

Wind at Chuzhou is from the NNE at 2 km/h (gusts 6 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSW. Relative humidity is 98% and the temperature 14°C.

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