82 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, December 26, 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 82 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 34 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery, accessed on Friday (12/26/2025) at 11:36 AM WIB. Of the 82 detected hotspots, 2 points have a high hotspot confidence level, 78 points are on a medium scale, and 2 points are on a low 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 possibility of forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots were in East Kalimantan with 15 points. West Kalimantan ranked second with 10 hotspots. East Java was in third position with 9 hotspots.

A total of 6 hotspots were detected in North Sumatra, followed by West Sulawesi with 5 hotspots, and North Sulawesi and Riau each had 5 and 4 hotspots detected, respectively.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in an area that has 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 in monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
