690 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, September 7, 2025)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the last 24 hours shows that 690 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 444 points compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Sunday (September 7, 2025) at 11:35 AM Western Indonesian Time (WIB). Of the 690 hotspots detected, 7 points had a high confidence level, 646 points were at a medium scale, and 37 points were at a low scale.

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 detected hotspots were in East Nusa Tenggara with 305 points. West Nusa Tenggara ranked second with 69 hotspots. South Sumatra was in the third position with 56 hotspots.

As many as 54 hotspots were detected in East Java, followed by North Maluku with 49 hotspots, while North Sumatra and Southeast Sulawesi each had 31 and 28 detected hotspots, respectively.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area that have a higher surface temperature than their surroundings, and do not represent 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.
