Fires near Hāpur right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 10 thermal hotspots in 6 separate clusters within 80 km of Hāpur, Uttar Pradesh, India in the last 24 h. The closest is 19 km SW of the city centre (17 km NNE of Greater Noida), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 4 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 65 km SW (9 km SW of Faridabad) with 4 detections; first seen Mon 1 am and last seen Mon 3 am local time.
Across India there are 427 fire clusters in the same window, 66 of them in Uttar Pradesh.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Hāpur is from the NW at 9 km/h (gusts 15 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SE. Relative humidity is 76% and the temperature 18°C.
Hāpur is not directly downwind of the nearest fire at the moment, though winds shift and plumes from larger fires can still reach the city.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Hāpur 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.
