1,048 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Thursday, September 4, 2025)

Based on the forest and land fire monitoring system SiPongi of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring in the last 24 hours shows that 1,048 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 261 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of imaging from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellites, accessed on Thursday (September 4, 2025) at 11:36 AM WIB. Of the 1,048 detected hotspots, 51 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 867 points were at a medium scale, and 130 points were at a 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 forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in East Nusa Tenggara with 524 points. East Java ranked second with the highest number of hotspots at 165 points. West Nusa Tenggara was in third place with 144 hotspots.

A total of 31 hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, followed by West Java with 25 hotspots, and Southeast Sulawesi and Central Java each had 22 and 21 detected hotspots.

A hotspot 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 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 in monitoring forest and land fires for large areas.
