328 Hotspot Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, September 6, 2024)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, 24-hour monitoring shows 328 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is an increase of 33 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Friday (6/9/2024) at 16:47 WIB. Of the 328 hotspots detected, 16 have a high confidence level, 311 are medium, and 1 is low.

The hotspot confidence level is divided into three 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 that area.

The highest number of hotspots was detected in South Sumatra with 75. East Nusa Tenggara is second with 57 hotspots, followed by East Java with 55.

34 hotspots were detected in Lampung, 18 in Central Java, and 9 each in Jambi and Southeast Sulawesi.

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.
