171 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Tuesday, November 25, 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 171 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 58 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Tuesday (25/11/2025) at 11:12 AM WIB. Of the 171 hotspots detected, 3 had a high confidence level, 167 had a medium confidence level, and 1 had a low confidence level.

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 most hotspots were detected in North Maluku with 39 points. Central Sulawesi ranked second with 24 hotspots. Southeast Sulawesi was in third position with 21 hotspots.

A total of 12 hotspots were detected in South Sumatra, followed by East Nusa Tenggara with 10 hotspots, while Bangka Belitung Islands and West Papua each had 10 and 9 hotspots detected, respectively.

A hotspot is a coordinate point of an area that has a higher surface temperature compared to 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 a large area.
