2025 European Wildfire Frequency Distribution

Spatio-temporal distribution of thermal anomalies and verified wildfire events across the EU-27 and non-EU territories (2025). Data reflects satellite-detected burn scars (=>30 ha) derived from the EFFIS Rapid Damage Assessment (RDA) module. Detection utilizes MODIS and VIIRS sensor fusion, refined by Sentinel-2 imagery for perimeter validation.

Note: Data for Ukraine has been excluded to distinguish conflict-related thermal anomalies from natural wildfire statistics.
