181 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Sunday, January 11, 2026)

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 181 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 96 compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Sunday (January 11, 2026) at 11:36 AM WIB. Of the 181 hotspots detected, 6 points have a high hotspot confidence level and 175 points are at a medium scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. A low scale ranges from 0 - 29, a medium scale from 30 - 79, and a 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 hotspots were detected in North Maluku with 40 points. Central Sulawesi ranked second with 31 hotspots. South Sulawesi was in third place with 26 hotspots.

A total of 23 hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, followed by Southeast Sulawesi with 15 hotspots, and Jambi and Riau with 8 and 7 hotspots respectively.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in an area that has 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 the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellites is still the most effective for monitoring forest and land fires over a wide area.
