MoEF Discovered 6,504 Hotspots in Indonesia, Most in Central Kalimantan (Wednesday, 19 August 2026)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 6,504 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure increased by 903 hotspots compared to the prior period.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Wednesday (19/8/2026) at 11:35 WIB. Out of 6,504 detected hotspots: 471 have high confidence level, 5806 medium, and 227 low confidence level.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: Low (0-29), Medium (30-79), High (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence indicates greater probability of forest and land fire occurrence in that area.

The highest number of hotspots was recorded in Central Kalimantan with 2063 points, followed by West Kalimantan (1982), South Kalimantan (512), East Kalimantan (507), South Sumatra (216), South Papua (196), and East Nusa Tenggara (145).
Hotspots are coordinate points with higher surface temperature than surrounding areas - this is not equivalent to the count of actual fire incidents.
However, clustered high-volume hotspot detections indicate active forest and land fires. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-area wildfire monitoring.
