132 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Tuesday, January 13, 2026)

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 132 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number increased by 56 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Tuesday (1/13/2026) at 11:02 AM WIB. Out of 132 detected hotspots, 132 were of medium scale.

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

The most detected hotspots were in Southeast Sulawesi with 29 points. Central Sulawesi ranked second with 12 hotspots. Bengkulu was in third place with 11 hotspots.

As many as 9 hotspots were detected in Aceh, followed by West Kalimantan with 9 hotspots, and Papua and Central Java each had 8 and 6 detected hotspots.

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

However, a large number of hotspots clustered in an 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 for monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
