Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK): Number of Hotspots in Indonesia Reaches 99 in the Last 24 Hours (Thursday, April 10, 2025)

Based on the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system, the last 24-hour monitoring shows 99 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This is a decrease of 79 hotspots compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Thursday (10/4/2025) at 11:52 WIB. Of the 99 hotspots detected, 92 are of medium scale and 7 are of low scale.

The confidence level of hotspots is divided into 3 scales. The low scale has a range of 0-29, the medium scale 30-79, and the high scale 80-100. The higher the confidence level of a hotspot, the higher the likelihood of a forest and land fire in that area.

The highest number of detected hotspots is in Central Sulawesi with 17 hotspots. North Maluku is second with 16 hotspots, followed by Southeast Sulawesi with 14 hotspots.

Ten hotspots were detected in Jambi, followed by South Sumatra with 8 hotspots, and Banten and Central Java each with 6 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 hotspots clustered in one area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellites remains the most effective method for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
