403 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Tuesday, August 5, 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 shows that 403 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. The number of hotspots decreased by 313 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA, accessed on Tuesday (5/8/2025) at 11:12 AM WIB. Of the 403 detected hotspots, 2 points have a high hotspot confidence level, 373 points are medium scale, and 28 points are low scale.

The hotspot confidence level is 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 likelihood of forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

The most detected hotspots are in East Nusa Tenggara with 120 points. West Nusa Tenggara ranks second with 84 hotspots. East Java is in third position with 30 hotspots.

A total of 27 hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, followed by Southeast Sulawesi with 23 hotspots, and West Sumatra and Central Sulawesi each having 16 and 13 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point in 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 hotspots clustered in an area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data detected by remote sensing satellites is still the most effective in monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
