76 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Monday, January 12, 2026)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring in the last 24 hours showed 76 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 105 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Monday (January 12, 2026) at 11:37 AM WIB. Of the 76 detected hotspots, 74 were medium scale and 2 were low scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. Low scale has a range of 0 - 29, medium scale 30 - 79, and 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 Central Sulawesi with 15 points. Jambi ranked second with 14 hotspots. Aceh was in third place with 10 hotspots.

As many as 5 hotspots were detected in Southeast Sulawesi, followed by East Java with 4 hotspots, and Central Java and West Sumatra each had 4 and 4 detected hotspots, respectively.

A hotspot is the 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 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 a wide area.
