105 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, November 16, 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 105 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 118 points compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA accessed on Sunday (11/16/2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 105 detected hotspots, 1 point had a high hotspot confidence level, 103 points were at a medium scale, and 1 point was at a low scale.

The hotspot confidence level is divided into 3 scales. A low scale has a range of 0 - 29, a medium scale 30 - 79, and a high scale 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 were in East Kalimantan with 27 points. North Maluku was in second place with the most hotspots with 17 points. Riau was in third place with 10 hotspots.

As many as 7 hotspots were detected in Bengkulu, followed by South Sumatra with 6 hotspots, and Lampung and Southeast Sulawesi each having 6 and 5 detected hotspots.

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

However, a large number of hotspots clustered 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 large areas.
