983 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, October 31, 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 983 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 323 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Friday (10/31/2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 983 detected hotspots, 30 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 888 points were medium scale, and 65 points were 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 possibility of forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in West Sumatra with 203 points. Riau ranked second with the most hotspots with 112 points. North Sumatra was in third place with 104 hotspots.

A total of 94 hotspots were detected in Jambi, followed by West Kalimantan with 83 hotspots, and East Nusa Tenggara and South Sumatra each having 68 and 59 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point of an area that has a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and it is 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.
