Wildfires in Sudan today

There are 115 probable fires in Sudan right now: 4,262 heat detections by satellite in the last 24 hours, grouped by proximity. The most intense one is near Al Radoum (6,222 MW). Its fire page has been tracking it since 13 October 2026.

Latest satellite detection: 5 Nov 2026, 02:42 UTC (5 h ago).

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

Wildfires in Sudan World map of what is burning now Methodology

Where this data comes from

Hotspots from the VIIRS sensors on Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20 and NOAA-21 (NASA FIRMS), 375 m pixels and about six passes a day between the three. They are grouped into probable fires when neighbouring hotspots exist; agricultural burning or an industrial chimney also show on the map, which is why small groups are left out of the list. A hotspot is a thermal detection, not a confirmed fire: in an emergency call your local emergency number.
