KLHK: Number of Hotspots in Indonesia Reached 66 in the Last 24 Hours (Thursday, November 13, 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 showed that 66 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 64 points compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Thursday (13/11/2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 66 detected hotspots, all 66 were of moderate scale.

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

The most detected hotspots were in North Maluku with 17 points. South Sulawesi ranked second with the most hotspots, with 11 points. West Sumatra was in third place with 8 hotspots.

A total of 7 hotspots were detected in Riau, followed by Central Sulawesi with 7 hotspots, and Southeast Sulawesi and East Kalimantan each had 4 and 3 detected hotspots.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area that have a higher surface temperature compared to 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 for large areas.
