Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 136 hotspots across Indonesia. This represents an increase of 75 hotspots compared to the prior monitoring period.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Tuesday (19/5/2026) at 11:43 WIB. Out of the 136 detected hotspots: 1 has high confidence level, 131 medium confidence, and 4 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is categorized into 3 tiers: Low (0-29), Medium (30-79), High (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence indicates greater probability of active forest and land fires in the area.

The highest number of hotspots was recorded in South Sumatra (26 points), followed by East Java (24 points) then Jambi (13 points).
West Sumatra and Central Java each recorded 9 hotspots, while Banten and South Kalimantan recorded 9 and 8 hotspots respectively.
Hotspots are coordinate points showing higher surface temperature than surrounding areas – this count does not equal the total number of fire incidents.
However, concentrated clusters of hotspots indicate ongoing forest and land fire activity. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-area wildfire monitoring.
