Fires near Finchley right now
No VIIRS thermal hotspots were detected within 80 km of Finchley, England, United Kingdom in the last 48 h. The nearest detection cluster is about 118 km SW (8 km SSE of Southampton), 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 United Kingdom there are 7 fire clusters in the same window, 5 of them in England.
Smoke and wind
Wind at Finchley is from the WSW at 16 km/h (gusts 32 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the ENE. Relative humidity is 66% and the temperature 10°C.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Finchley 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 European Forest Fire Information System, EFFIS (forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas; evacuation orders come from the national civil protection authority and local police.
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.
