78 Hotspot Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Thursday, April 3, 2025)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, the last 24-hour monitoring shows 78 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is a decrease of 11 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Thursday (3/4/2025) at 11:14 WIB. Of the 78 hotspots detected, 5 have a high confidence level, 70 are medium, and 3 are low.

The hotspot confidence level is divided into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), and high (80-100). The higher the confidence level, the higher the likelihood of a forest and land fire in that area.

The highest number of hotspots was detected in North Maluku with 21. South Sulawesi is second with 12 hotspots, followed by South Sumatra with 12.

Nine hotspots were detected in Central Java, followed by East Kalimantan with 3, West Kalimantan and Bengkulu with 3 and 2 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 hotspots clustered in one area indicates forest and land fires. This means that satellite remote sensing hotspot data remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
