89 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Wednesday, April 2, 2025)

Based on the Forest and Land Fire Monitoring System (SiPongi) of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), 24-hour monitoring shows 89 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is a decrease of 48 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Wednesday (April 2nd, 2025) at 11:14 WIB. Of the 89 hotspots detected, 84 are of moderate scale and 5 are of low scale.

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

The highest number of detected hotspots is in Jambi with 26 hotspots. South Sumatra is second with 16 hotspots. North Maluku is third with 16 hotspots.

Five hotspots were detected in Central Sulawesi, followed by East Java with 5 hotspots, and West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara with 4 and 3 detected hotspots respectively.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area with 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 one area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellites remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
