Map

Every spot seen that day. Each dot is about 375 m across on the ground; zoom in to see the fields.

Counts are a floor: clouds and smoke hide fires, and a fire lit and put out between two satellite passes is never seen. A spot is a 375 m square that looked as hot as a fire, not one field. Days run from midnight to midnight, Pakistan time. Source: NASA FIRMS. This day as data: /api/day?d=2023-10-18. More in Fire trends and the Two Punjabs report.
