76 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Tuesday, December 30, 2025)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring in the last 24 hours shows that 76 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 30 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Tuesday (12/30/2025) at 11:36 AM WIB. Of the 76 detected hotspots, 1 point has a high hotspot confidence level and 75 points are at a medium scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. The low scale ranges from 0 - 29, the medium scale from 30 - 79, and the high scale from 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in Central Sulawesi with 17 points. East Java ranked second with 16 hotspots. South Sulawesi was in third place with 15 hotspots.

A total of 7 hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, followed by North Sulawesi with 4 hotspots, and Aceh and Maluku each having 3 and 2 detected hotspots.

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

However, a large number of clustered hotspots in an area indicate the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellite detection is still the most effective for monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
