Ministry of Environment and Forestry Detects 821 Hotspots in Indonesia, Highest Count in Aceh (Sunday, 31 May 2026)
- A Small

- A Bigger
According to the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the past 24 hours detected 821 hotspots across Indonesia. This count increased by 238 points compared to the prior period.
This data was obtained via Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Sunday, 31 May 2026 at 11:11 WIB. Out of the 821 detected hotspots: 38 have high confidence level, 759 medium confidence, 24 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is split into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence means greater likelihood of active forest and land fires in that location.

The highest number of hotspots was recorded in Aceh with 282 points, followed by North Sumatra (67) and South Sumatra (63).
West Sumatra had 61 hotspots, Bangka Belitung Islands 40, while East Nusa Tenggara and Riau recorded 31 and 28 hotspots respectively.
A hotspot is a geographic coordinate showing higher surface temperature than surrounding areas – it is not a direct count of fire incidents.
However, clustered or high-volume hotspot readings indicate active forest/land fires. Satellite remote sensing hotspot detection remains the most effective method for large-area wildfire monitoring.
