KLHK: Number of Hotspots in Indonesia Reaches 777 in the Last 24 Hours (Monday, August 11, 2025)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the last 24-hour monitoring shows 777 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 133 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Monday (August 11, 2025) at 11:21 AM WIB. Of the 777 detected hotspots, 13 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 732 points were medium scale, and 32 points were low 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 particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in East Nusa Tenggara with 224 points. Bangka Belitung Islands ranked second with 137 hotspots. West Kalimantan was in third place with 91 hotspots.

A total of 57 hotspots were detected in West Nusa Tenggara, followed by East Kalimantan with 43 hotspots, and East Java and South Sumatra each having 32 and 30 detected hotspots.

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 for monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
