MoEF Discovered 61 Hotspots in Indonesia, Most in Central Sulawesi (Monday, 18 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 last 24 hours detected 61 hotspots across Indonesia.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Monday (18/5/2026) at 11.43 WIB. Of the 61 detected hotspots: 1 had high confidence level, 58 medium, 2 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher confidence indicates greater probability of active forest/land fires in the area.

Central Sulawesi recorded the most hotspots at 12, followed by North Maluku and Central Java each with 10 hotspots.
South Sulawesi had 6 hotspots, South Sumatra 5, East Java 4, and Aceh 3 detected hotspots.
Hotspots are coordinate points with higher surface temperature than surrounding areas; this count does not equal total fire incidents.
However, clustered and high-volume hotspots indicate ongoing forest/land fires. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-area fire monitoring.
