KLHK Finds 747 Hotspots in Indonesia, Most in West Nusa Tenggara (Monday, October 6, 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 showed 747 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 276 points compared to the previous period.

This data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Monday (October 6, 2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 747 detected hotspots, 37 points have a high confidence level, 669 points are medium scale, and 41 points are low scale.

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

The most detected hotspots are in West Nusa Tenggara with 164 points. East Nusa Tenggara ranks second with 144 hotspots. East Java is in third position with 75 hotspots.

A total of 74 hotspots were detected in Bengkulu, followed by South Sumatra with 52 hotspots, and Southeast Sulawesi and Aceh each having 40 and 30 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point of an area that has a higher surface temperature compared to 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 for large areas.
