A short, quotable summary of the last 24 hours and of the season. Rebuilt every hour.

Wildfire briefing: Cuba

In the last 24 hours the VIIRS satellites have not detected any clusters of heat detections in Cuba (NASA FIRMS; latest detection in the system: 25 Oct 2026, 09:24 UTC).

Fires with a WorldFires page still showing heat detections in the last 48 hours: 0.

Cuba is running below the usual for this point in the year, at 53 % of the average: 224,061 hectares burned up to week 42, against an average of 426,548 in 2012–2025 (Copernicus GWIS). GWIS estimates for the current year are provisional and may change.

A heat detection is not a confirmed fire: farm burning and industry also produce them, and clouds or smoke can hide a fire.

If you are in danger, call 105 and follow the instructions of the authorities. WorldFires is not an emergency service. Emergency number and official warnings ›
