1,423 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, September 5, 2025)

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 that 1,423 hot spots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hot spots increased by 375 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Friday (9/5/2025) at 11:35 AM WIB. Of the 1,423 detected hot spots, 40 points have a high confidence level, 1223 points are medium scale, and 160 points are low scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. The low scale ranges from 0 - 29, the medium scale from 30 - 79, and the high scale from 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of a forest and land fire occurring in a particular area.

The most detected hot spots are in East Nusa Tenggara with 432 points. West Nusa Tenggara ranks second with the highest number of hot spots with 236 points. East Kalimantan is in third place with 141 hot spots.

A total of 120 hot spots were detected in East Java, followed by Southeast Sulawesi with 97 hot spots, and West Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi each having 82 and 55 hot spots detected.

A hot spot is a coordinate point of 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 hot spots clustered in an area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hot spot data from remote sensing satellite detection is still the most effective in monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
