Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the past 24 hours recorded 275 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number increased by 63 hotspots compared to the prior reporting period.
The data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Saturday (2/5/2026) at 11:12 WIB. Out of the 275 detected hotspots: 4 were rated high confidence, 268 medium confidence, and 3 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: low (0–29), medium (30–79), high (80–100). Higher confidence rating indicates greater probability of an active forest or land fire event in the location.

East Kalimantan recorded the most hotspots at 58, followed by North Maluku (31) and South Papua (16). Aceh registered 16 hotspots, Southeast Sulawesi 15, North Kalimantan 14, and East Nusa Tenggara 13.
Hotspots are coordinate points showing elevated surface temperature relative to surrounding areas; they do not directly equal confirmed fire incidents. However, clustered or high volume hotspot readings indicate active forest/land fire activity. Satellite-detected hotspots remain the most effective method for large-area wildfire monitoring.
