Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 5,833 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure is an increase of 368 hotspots compared to the prior period.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Sunday (16/8/2026) at 11:35 WIB. Of the detected hotspots: 279 have high confidence level, 5445 medium confidence, and 109 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence indicates greater probability of active forest and land fires in the area.

The highest hotspot count was recorded in West Kalimantan (1481 points), followed by Central Kalimantan (869 points) and South Papua (797 points).
Other recorded counts: East Kalimantan 452, South Sumatra 417, South Kalimantan 351, Central Sulawesi 172 hotspots.
Hotspots are coordinate points with above-average surface temperature; they do not directly equal individual fire incidents.
However, clustered high hotspot volumes indicate active forest and land fire events. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-area wildfire monitoring.
