383 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, February 1, 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 383 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 177 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Sunday (February 1, 2026) at 11:14 AM WIB. Of the 383 hotspots detected, 8 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 361 points were at a medium scale, and 14 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.

The highest number of hotspots was detected in West Kalimantan, with 128 points. Riau Islands ranked second with 47 hotspots. Riau was in third place with 47 hotspots.

18 hotspots were detected in Aceh, followed by Central Java with 17 hotspots, and South Sulawesi and North Sumatra each had 17 hotspots detected.

A hotspot is a 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 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 for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
