878 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Monday, August 18, 2025)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring in the last 24 hours showed 878 hot spots (hotspots) detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots increased by 98 points compared to the previous period.
The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Monday (August 18, 2025) at 11:54 AM WIB. Of the 878 detected hotspots, 27 points have a high hotspot confidence level, 825 points are medium scale, and 26 points are low scale.
The hotspot confidence level is divided into 3 scales. Low scale has a range of 0 - 29, medium scale 30 - 79, and high scale 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of a forest and land fire occurring in a certain area.

Most detected hotspots are in West Kalimantan with 336 points. North Sumatra is in second place with 150 hotspots. East Nusa Tenggara is in third place with 127 hotspots.
A total of 55 hotspots were detected in Bangka Belitung Islands, Aceh followed with 55 hotspots, and East Java and South Sumatra each had 43 and 22 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 over a wide area.
