Recent records
Satellite heat detections within 50 km of Rutshuru, last 24 hours: 1 record.
6 in the last 7 days; the latest 4 hours ago, the nearest 37 km away.
Wind at this point: from the south-east at 8 km/h (forecast for 04:00 UTC, MET Norway, CC BY 4.0).
A satellite sees heat, not a wildfire: it cannot tell a fire from a controlled burn or an industrial flame, and sees nothing under thick cloud. A plant that is hot all year is counted here like any other detection: the page of each one says when heat is seen there in every season.
