The climate phenomenon can disrupt rainfall across vast regions, creating unusually dry conditions that allow fires to spread rapidly. Scientists warn that the Amazon may be entering the beginning of a prolonged and destructive fire season. NASA Satellites Detect Surging Amazon Wildfires Beginning in September 2026, satellite observations revealed a sharp increase in fires and smoke emissions across the central and eastern Amazon. The growing activity appeared in several monitoring systems, including NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS), the Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED), and NASA Worldview. The affected area extends from the forests surrounding Manaus and Santarém, two major commercial and transportation hubs in Brazil, eastward toward the mouth of the Amazon River.
