Why am I not seeing fires in Oregon on my map!

[A Former User]

I see fires in Washington, Idaho and one little one near Portland but nothing else??????? Also it is showing all particals (air quality) in the green in the whole state.

@Pieter-DeZwart ,there are 2 reasons, either there hasnt been any satelitte overpasses, and in the dark night hours fire activity are usually low and smoldering, esp in western oregon when fall sets in and reason 2 ;large frontal systems sets in, therefore clouds and fog may also obscure viirs and modis data, use other sites if need to know ASAP, i can link them here, but wont do it due to the risk of being banned doing that...

its not windys fault if you see smoke but no dot on the maps, there are hurdles even for hightech meteorology too

best regards

The provider of Active fires in Windy is FIRMS.
(The link and information are displayed in About this data)
You see that FIRMS display reported fires which are not (yet) detected by satellites.
