137 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Tuesday, April 1, 2025)

Based on the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK)'s SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, 24-hour monitoring shows 137 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is an increase of 109 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Tuesday (1/4/2025) at 11:14 WIB. Of the 137 hotspots detected, 3 have a high confidence level, 116 are medium, and 18 are low.

The hotspot confidence level is divided into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), and high (80-100). The higher the confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires in a particular area.

The highest number of hotspots were detected in Central Sulawesi (30). North Maluku is second with 27 hotspots, followed by East Kalimantan with 12.

Twelve hotspots were detected in Southeast Sulawesi, followed by West Kalimantan with 11, and South Sulawesi and South Sumatra with 9 and 7 hotspots 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 clustered hotspots in an area indicates forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellites remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
