KLHK: Number of Hotspots in Indonesia Reaches 137 in Last 24 Hours (Friday, November 14, 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 137 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 71 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Friday (11/14/2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 137 detected hotspots, 134 are moderate scale and 3 are low 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 particular area.

Most hotspots were detected in Central Kalimantan, with 35 points. North Maluku ranks second with the most hotspots, with 30 points. Riau is in third position with 16 hotspots.

11 hotspots were detected in East Nusa Tenggara, followed by Central Sulawesi with 11 hotspots, while East Kalimantan and South Sulawesi each have 8 and 7 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point of an area that has a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and is 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 wide area.
