Fires near Siverek right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 24 thermal hotspots in 15 separate clusters within 80 km of Siverek, Şanlıurfa, Turkey in the last 48 h. The closest is 14 km WSW of the city centre (14 km WSW of Siverek), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 8 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
2 clusters are 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 69 km ENE (10 km W of Diyarbakır) with 4 detections; first seen Sun 12 pm and last seen Sun 2 pm local time.
Across Turkey there are 254 fire clusters in the same window, 14 of them in Şanlıurfa.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Siverek is from the ENE at 7 km/h (gusts 13 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the WSW. Relative humidity is 76% and the temperature 16°C.
Siverek 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 Siverek 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.
