Fires near Shaping right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 2 thermal hotspots in 1 separate cluster within 80 km of Shaping, Guangdong, China in the last 24 h. The closest is 65 km NNE of the city centre (26 km NNW of Guangzhou), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 1 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.
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.
Across China there are 803 fire clusters in the same window, 19 of them in Guangdong.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 km NNW of Guangzhou | 65 km NNE | 2 | 1 MW | Mon 2:28 am | Mon 2:28 am |
Smoke and wind
Wind at Shaping is from the NNE at 11 km/h (gusts 26 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSW. Relative humidity is 54% and the temperature 27°C.
Shaping is roughly downwind of the nearest fire, so smoke and haze are likely; check the air quality page before spending time outdoors.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Shaping 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.
