1,548 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Tuesday, September 2, 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 1,548 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 548 points compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Tuesday (September 2, 2025) at 11:30 AM WIB. Of the 1,548 detected hotspots, 62 points have a high hotspot confidence level, 1,372 points are at a medium scale, and 114 points are at a low scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. The low scale ranges from 0 - 29, the medium 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 were in West Kalimantan, with 716 points. East Nusa Tenggara ranked second with 311 hotspots. West Nusa Tenggara was in third position with 85 hotspots.

A total of 78 hotspots were detected in Southeast Sulawesi, followed by East Java with 57 hotspots, and East Kalimantan and South Sulawesi each having 50 and 48 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point of 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 large area.
