172 Hotspot Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, June 30, 2024)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, the last 24-hour monitoring shows 172 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is a decrease of 78 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Sunday (30/6/2024) at 16.27 WIB. Of the 172 hotspots detected, 166 are medium scale and 6 are low scale.

The hotspot confidence level is divided into 3 scales. The low scale has a range of 0-29, the medium scale 30-79, and the high scale 80-100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires in a particular area.

Hotspots were most frequently detected in East Java with 49 hotspots. West Nusa Tenggara is second with 25 hotspots, followed by East Nusa Tenggara with 24 hotspots.

16 hotspots were detected in North Maluku, followed by South Sumatra with 13 hotspots, and Banten and Central Java each with 10 and 8 detected hotspots respectively.

A hotspot is a coordinate point of an area with a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and not the number of forest and land fire incidents.

However, a large number of hotspots clustered in one area indicates forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellites remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
