Ministry of Environment and Forestry: Number of Hotspots in Indonesia Reaches 1,829 in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, July 27, 2025)

Based on the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK)'s SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, monitoring in the last 24 hours shows that 1,829 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 324 compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imaging accessed on Sunday (July 27, 2025) at 11:51 AM WIB. Of the 1,829 detected hotspots, 107 points have a high hotspot confidence level, 1,692 points have a medium scale, and 30 points have a low scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. The low scale ranges from 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 occurring in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots are in West Kalimantan with 865 points. East Kalimantan ranks second with 134 hotspots. Aceh is in third place with 122 hotspots.

A total of 77 hotspots were detected in North Kalimantan, followed by South Sumatra with 73 hotspots, and Bangka Belitung Islands and North Sumatra each having 71 and 68 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in an area that has 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 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 over large areas.
