78 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Thursday, April 24, 2025)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, 24-hour monitoring shows 78 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is a decrease of 66 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Thursday (24/4/2025) at 11:50 WIB. Of the 78 hotspots detected, 2 have a high confidence level and 76 are medium scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), and high (80-100). The higher the confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires in a particular area.

The highest number of hotspots were detected in East Nusa Tenggara (18). South Sumatra is second with 11 hotspots, followed by South Kalimantan with 10.

Nine hotspots were detected in North Maluku, followed by East Kalimantan with 6, and South Sulawesi and East Java with 5 and 4 hotspots respectively.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area with 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 forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellites remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
