1,162 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, November 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 1,162 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 386 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Sunday (November 2, 2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 1,162 hotspots detected, 43 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 1,090 points had a medium scale, and 29 points had a 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 possibility of forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

Most hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, with 136 points. South Sumatra ranked second with the highest number of hotspots, with 120 points. West Kalimantan was in third place with 108 hotspots.

A total of 98 hotspots were detected in West Sumatra, followed by Jambi with 89 hotspots, and West Nusa Tenggara and Bengkulu each had 75 and 69 hotspots detected.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area that have a higher surface temperature than their surroundings, and do not represent 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 large area.
