1,030 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, January 25, 2026)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring in the last 24 hours shows that 1,030 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 328 compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Sunday (1/25/2026) at 11:02 AM WIB. Of the 1,030 detected hotspots, 21 points have a high confidence level, 974 points are moderate, and 35 points are low.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. Low scale ranges from 0 - 29, moderate scale from 30 - 79, and high scale from 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in Aceh with 197 points. West Kalimantan ranked second with 116 hotspots. West Sumatra was in third place with 105 hotspots.

As many as 91 hotspots were detected in North Sumatra, Central Sulawesi followed with 64 hotspots, and East Kalimantan and Riau each had 57 and 53 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in an area that has a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and not the number of forest and land fire incidents.

However, a large number of clustered hotspots in an area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellite detection is still the most effective in monitoring forest and land fires over a wide area.
