In context

This wildfire has been burning in Brazil for 1 day. So far it has affected roughly 300 ha (741 acres) — about 3.0 km². That size is an estimate from satellite hotspots, not a measured area.

Close to the tropics, fires tend to follow the dry season and are often linked to land-clearing rather than a single summer peak.
