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 Georgia there are 0 fire clusters in the same window.
Smoke and wind
Wind at Rustavi is from the SE at 1 km/h (gusts 5 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NW. Relative humidity is 90% and the temperature 13°C.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Rustavi 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.
