115 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, June 14, 2024)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, 24-hour monitoring shows 115 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is a decrease of 57 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is from satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Friday (14/6/2024) at 16.28 WIB. Of the 115 detected hotspots, 2 have a high confidence level, 111 are medium, and 2 are low.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), and high (80-100). The higher the confidence level, the higher the likelihood of a forest and land fire in that area.

The highest number of hotspots was detected in East Java with 30. East Nusa Tenggara is second with 19, followed by West Nusa Tenggara with 11.

Eleven hotspots were detected in South Sumatra, followed by Jambi with 10, Banten and Riau with 10 and 4 respectively.

Hotspots are coordinate points of an area with a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and not the number of forest and land fire incidents.

However, a large number of hotspots clustered in one area indicates forest and land fires. This means that satellite remote sensing hotspot data remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
