817 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, October 24, 2025)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the last 24-hour monitoring showed 817 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 337 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Friday (October 24, 2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 817 detected hotspots, 13 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 702 points were medium scale, and 102 points were low scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. The low scale has a range of 0 - 29, the medium scale 30 - 79, and the high scale 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in East Nusa Tenggara with 442 points. Southeast Sulawesi ranked second with the most hotspots, with 107 points. West Nusa Tenggara was in third place with 94 hotspots.

As many as 39 hotspots were detected in Maluku, Central Sulawesi followed with 26 hotspots, while South Sulawesi and Central Kalimantan each had 26 and 19 detected hotspots.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area that have a higher surface temperature than their surroundings, and are 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.
