MoEF Detects 319 Hotspots in Indonesia, Most Located in West Kalimantan (Thursday, 21 May 2026)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), monitoring over the past 24 hours detected 319 hotspots across Indonesia. This number has increased by 119 points compared to the previous period.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Thursday (21/5/2026) at 11:22 WIB. Out of 319 detected hotspots: 13 have high confidence level, 303 medium confidence, and 3 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence indicates greater likelihood of forest and land fires occurring in the area.

The highest number of detected hotspots was recorded in West Kalimantan with 60 points. North Maluku ranked second with 31 hotspots, followed by East Kalimantan in third place with 29 hotspots.
24 hotspots were detected in the Bangka Belitung Islands, 23 in East Java, while South Sulawesi and South Sumatra recorded 22 and 18 detected hotspots respectively.
A hotspot is a coordinate point where surface temperature is higher than its surrounding area; this does not represent the total count of forest and land fire incidents.
However, a high concentration of clustered hotspots in an area indicates active forest and land fires. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large territories.
