Fire map — France

Each dot is a thermal anomaly detected from orbit. Tap a dot for radiative power and the satellite pass time.

Updated —

Satellites pass over a given point a few times a day, so a fire may appear with a delay. Use this to assess the situation — it does not replace official bulletins from national civil protection. Source: NASA FIRMS.

Wind direction and speed decide which way a fire runs. Switch the layer to temperature or humidity to judge the risk.

Strong wind, temperatures above 35 °C and humidity below 30% together are the conditions in which fire spreads fastest.
