99 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Saturday, December 6, 2025)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the last 24 hours shows that 99 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 51 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Saturday (December 6, 2025) at 11:12 AM WIB. Of the 99 hotspots detected, 2 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 94 points were at a medium scale, and 3 points were 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.

Most hotspots were detected in Central Sulawesi, with 18 points. South Sulawesi ranks second with the most hotspots, with 14 points. West Sumatra is in third place with 8 hotspots.

A total of 8 hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, followed by East Nusa Tenggara with 7 hotspots, and West Sulawesi and Banten each having 5 and 5 hotspots detected.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in 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.
