Fire detections, Sat, 14 Nov

119 from NOAA-20's passes, so far today. A detection is a hot spot seen from orbit, not a burned area; cloud and thick smoke hide fires.

Air pollutant index: DOE Malaysia, MyEQMS (APIMS), read every hour into this site's archive since 1 September 2026 10:00 (DOE keeps 7 days). Today shows each station's latest hour; an earlier day shows its highest hour. Bands are DOE's: 0–50 good, 51–100 moderate, 101–200 unhealthy, 201–300 very unhealthy, above 300 hazardous. Fire detections: NASA FIRMS, VIIRS on NOAA-20, near real time, copied every hour into this site's archive (FIRMS keeps 7 days; earlier days, back to 2 July 2026, from the same feed via our haze study); low-confidence detections and those over open sea are left out; days are Malaysian time. We acknowledge the use of data from NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS), part of NASA's Earth Science Data and Information System.
