The story so far
About 80 km southeast of San José.
A moderate heat signature marked the final stages of a 100-hectare (247-acre) wildfire near San José, Honduras, as satellites detected three heat anomalies in the surrounding area over the final 48 hours of the incident. The blaze, which began on July 31, 2026, officially concluded during the region's typical fire season, the dry season.
In context
This wildfire burned in Honduras for less than a day. 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.
