Post-monsoon seasonal fire prediction (Oct+Nov) for 2024 over NW India has arrived.#Aqua #MODIS Sep NDVI data suggests ~15,500-18,500 fire occurrences (1-km detection) strictly under “as usual burning” practice (2002-2016)—comparable to 2020 but lower than in 2016 & 2021. Image Actual fire counts in 2023 were lower by 40% than prediction, indicating some serious ground efforts to reduce burning activities. Hoping for even more momentum this year.
