Ministry of Environment and Forestry: Number of Hotspots in Indonesia Reaches 48 in Last 24 Hours (Wednesday, December 10, 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 showed 48 hotspots detected in Indonesia.

This data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Wednesday (10/12/2025) at 11.27 AM WIB. Of the 48 detected hotspots, all 48 were of medium scale.

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

The most hotspots were detected in North Maluku with 14 points. East Kalimantan ranked second with 8 hotspots. Banten was in third place with 6 hotspots.

As many as 4 hotspots were detected in South Kalimantan, followed by West Nusa Tenggara with 3 hotspots, and East Java and Central Sulawesi each had 2 hotspots detected.

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 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 a large area.
