The story so far
About 60 km east of Flores.
Summary written on Jul 24, while the fire was still active. It has since ended — the figures above are current.
Burning near Flores, Guatemala, an active wildfire covering 100 ha (247 acres) since July 23, 2026, continues to show a moderate heat signature from peak fire radiative power. Satellites are picking up these heat signatures across four detections nearby.
In context
This wildfire burned in Guatemala for 2 days. In total it burned about 100 ha (247 acres) — around 1.0 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.
