Fires near Dibrugarh right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 15 thermal hotspots in 5 separate clusters within 80 km of Dibrugarh, Assam, India in the last 48 h. The closest is 21 km ESE of the city centre (21 km ESE of Dibrugarh), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 1 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
1 cluster is within 25 km, close enough that smoke, ash or road closures may affect the city. Distances are measured from the city centre to the nearest detection, not to the fire's edge.
Every nearby cluster is low intensity (peak under 10 MW), which is typical of agricultural or garden burning, industrial heat sources such as steel works or flares, or small fires rather than a spreading wildfire.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 43 km ESE (13 km SSW of Tinsukia) with 8 detections; first seen Sat 11 am and last seen Sun 1 pm local time.
Across India there are 659 fire clusters in the same window, 24 of them in Assam.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Dibrugarh is from the SE at 1 km/h (gusts 3 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NW. Relative humidity is 85% and the temperature 20°C.
Dibrugarh 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 Dibrugarh 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.
