3,622 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, September 26, 2025)

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 3,622 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots is 1,803 points less compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Friday (September 26, 2025) at 11:06 AM WIB. Of the 3,622 detected hotspots, 79 points have a high hotspot confidence level, 3,299 points are at a moderate scale, and 244 points are at a low scale.

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

The most detected hotspots are in West Kalimantan with 1,385 points. Central Kalimantan ranks second with the most hotspots, with 768 points. East Kalimantan is in third position with 266 hotspots.

A total of 173 hotspots were detected in East Nusa Tenggara, followed by South Sumatra with 150 hotspots, and South Kalimantan and East Java each having 148 and 125 detected hotspots, respectively.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area that have a higher surface temperature than their surroundings, and do not represent 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 for monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
