101 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Monday, November 17, 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 that 101 hotspots were detected in Indonesia.

The data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Monday (11/17/2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 101 detected hotspots, 99 were medium-scale and 2 were low-scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. Low scale ranges from 0 - 29, medium scale from 30 - 79, and high scale from 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in North Maluku with 39 points. East Java ranked second with 18 hotspots. East Kalimantan was in third place with 9 hotspots.

A total of 4 hotspots were detected in South Sulawesi, followed by South Kalimantan with 4 hotspots, and South Sumatra and Banten each had 4 and 2 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in an area that has a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and it 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 for monitoring forest and land fires in large areas.
