35 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, December 28, 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 shows 35 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 157 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Sunday (12/28/2025) at 11:36 AM WIB. Of the 35 hotspots detected, all 35 were medium scale.

The hotspot confidence level is divided into 3 scales. The low scale ranges from 0 - 29, the medium scale from 30 - 79, and the high scale from 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 were in North Maluku with 17 points. East Java ranked second with 6 hotspots. North Sulawesi was in third position with 5 hotspots.

Four hotspots were detected in Central Sulawesi, followed by Gorontalo with 1 hotspot, and East Kalimantan and West Sulawesi each had 1 hotspot detected.

A hotspot is a coordinate point of an area that has a higher surface temperature compared to 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 hotspot data from remote sensing satellite detection is still the most effective in monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
