168 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Monday, June 24, 2024)

Based on the forest and land fire monitoring system SiPongi of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), 24-hour monitoring shows 168 hotspots detected in Indonesia.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA accessed on Monday (24/6/2024) at 16.50 WIB. Of the 168 hotspots detected, 1 has a high confidence level, 165 are medium scale, and 2 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.

The highest number of detected hotspots is in East Nusa Tenggara with 26 points. South Sulawesi is second with 23 hotspots. Central Sulawesi is third with 19 hotspots.

17 hotspots were detected in West Nusa Tenggara, followed by West Papua with 14 hotspots, and East Java and Banten each have 11 and 10 detected hotspots respectively.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area with a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and not the number of forest and land fire incidents.

However, the large number of hotspots clustered in an 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.
