173 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Tuesday, February 11, 2025)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, 24-hour monitoring shows 173 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is an increase of 69 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is from satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Tuesday (February 11, 2025) at 11:03 WIB. Of the 173 hotspots detected, 3 have a high confidence level, 163 are medium, and 7 are low.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), and high (80-100). The higher the confidence level, the greater the likelihood of a forest and land fire in that area.

The highest number of hotspots was detected in West Kalimantan with 38. Central Sulawesi is second with 24 hotspots, followed by Riau with 20.

Thirteen hotspots were detected in North Maluku, followed by West Sumatra with 11, East Kalimantan with 8, and South Sulawesi with 7.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in an area with 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 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.
