48 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, December 8, 2024)

Based on the Forest and Land Fire Monitoring System (SiPongi) of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), 24-hour monitoring shows 48 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is an increase of 13 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA accessed on Sunday (8/12/2024) at 11:10 WIB. Of the 48 hotspots detected, 48 are of moderate scale.

The confidence level of hotspots is divided into 3 scales. The low scale has a range of 0-29, the moderate scale 30-79, and the high scale 80-100. The higher the confidence level of the hotspot, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires in a particular area.

The highest number of detected hotspots is in Riau with 16 hotspots. Jambi is in second place with 8 hotspots. South Kalimantan is in third place with 6 hotspots.

Five hotspots were detected in South Sumatra, followed by East Java with 2 hotspots, and North Sumatra and East Kalimantan each having 2 detected hotspots.

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 one 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.
