45 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Wednesday, February 25, 2026)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the last 24 hours of monitoring showed 45 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 62 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Wednesday (February 25, 2026) at 11:47 WIB. Of the 45 detected hotspots, 42 are medium-scale and 3 are low-scale.

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

Most hotspots were detected in Aceh, totaling 19. North Maluku ranks second with 9 hotspots. Riau is third with 6 hotspots.

5 hotspots were detected in the Riau Islands, followed by the Bangka Belitung Islands with 3 hotspots, and Gorontalo and North Sulawesi each have 1 detected hotspot.

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 clustered hotspots in an area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that remote sensing satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
