Thermal anomalies
No thermal anomaly recorded since 20 Aug 2026, when this site's watch began. A quiet site is no reading, never a statement that nothing happened.
FIRMS detections a day, last 90 daysamber: a thermal anomaly
21 Aug 2026 to 19 Oct 2026. A day the series does not hold is a gap, not a zero.

What this reading can say. A thermal anomaly means NASA's FIRMS satellites saw more heat at the site than it usually shows, at the moment they passed. It does not say why: flaring, a process upset, maintenance and a fire read alike. What it cannot. A fire put out between two passes is never seen, cloud and smoke hide heat, and a site that flares gas every day reads hot on its own, which is why each site is measured against its own normal. A quiet site is no reading at all, never a statement that nothing happened. A site view is a dated Sentinel-2 image: context for a reading, never proof of damage. The SWIR view shows heat and burn scars that true colour cannot.
