Fires near Jhang Sadr right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 22 thermal hotspots in 10 separate clusters within 80 km of Jhang Sadr, Punjab, Pakistan in the last 24 h. The closest is 23 km NE of the city centre (23 km NE of Jhang Sadr), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 6 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.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 27 km NNW (28 km NNW of Jhang Sadr) with 5 detections; first seen Sun 12 pm and last seen Sun 2 pm local time.
Across Pakistan there are 105 fire clusters in the same window, 93 of them in Punjab.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Jhang Sadr is from the N at 1 km/h (gusts 3 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the S. Relative humidity is 87% and the temperature 18°C.
Jhang Sadr 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 Jhang Sadr 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.
