MoEF: Number of Hotspots in Indonesia Reaches 760 in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, October 10, 2025)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), monitoring in the last 24 hours showed that 760 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 493 compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Friday (10/10/2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 760 detected hotspots, 22 points had a high confidence level, 680 points were medium scale, and 58 points were low scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are 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 particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in Central Kalimantan with 123 points. East Nusa Tenggara ranked second with 69 hotspots. South Sumatra was in third position with 51 hotspots.

As many as 48 hotspots were detected in South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi followed with 46 hotspots, and West Nusa Tenggara and East Java each had 45 and 43 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in an area that has a higher surface temperature compared to its surroundings, and not the number of forest and land fire incidents.

However, a large number of hotspots clustering 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.
