430 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Tuesday, October 21, 2025)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the last 24 hours shows that 430 hotspots have been detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 86 points compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Tuesday (October 21, 2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 430 detected hotspots, 13 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 371 points were moderate scale, and 46 points were low scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. Low scale has a range of 0 - 29, moderate scale 30 - 79, and high scale 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 East Nusa Tenggara, with 157 points. West Nusa Tenggara ranked second with the highest number of hotspots, with 57 points. Southeast Sulawesi was in third place with 30 hotspots.

A total of 30 hotspots were detected in South Sulawesi, followed by Maluku with 25 hotspots, and East Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi each having 23 and 20 detected hotspots.

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 the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellite detection is still the most effective way to monitor forest and land fires over a large area.
