Fires near Nada right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 17 thermal hotspots in 2 separate clusters within 80 km of Nada, Hainan, China in the last 48 h. The closest is 40 km W of the city centre (42 km W of Nada), with 6 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 9 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
None of the clusters is within 25 km of the centre, so the city itself is not in the immediate fire area, but smoke can travel hundreds of kilometres.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 56 km WSW (33 km ENE of Basuo) with 11 detections; first seen Sun 2 am and last seen Sun 1 pm local time.
Across China there are 854 fire clusters in the same window, 7 of them in Hainan.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 42 km W of Nada | 40 km W | 6 | 9 MW | Sun 1:57 pm | Sun 1:57 pm |
| 33 km ENE of Basuo | 56 km WSW | 11 | 11 MW | Sun 2:47 am | Sun 1:57 pm |
Smoke and wind
Wind at Nada is from the ESE at 9 km/h (gusts 17 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the WNW. Relative humidity is 98% and the temperature 22°C.
Nada 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 Nada 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.
