The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) reports an increase in the number of hotspots, or hot spots, in South Sumatra, a priority area for handling forest and land fires (karhutla).

In the second week of October 2023, the number of hotspots reached 11,161, then increased by 65.38% to 18,459 in the third week.

Besides South Sumatra, the number of hotspots decreased in five other priority karhutla areas: Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Riau, Jambi, and West Kalimantan.

"Especially in Central Kalimantan, the number of hotspots was very high in the first week of October, decreased in the second week, and decreased again in the third week," said Abdul Muhari, Head of the BNPB's Data, Information, and Disaster Communication Center, in a press release on the official BNPB YouTube channel on Monday (23/10/2023).

The number of hotspots in Central Kalimantan reached 11,245 in the second week of this month, then decreased by 44.65% to 6,224 in the third week.

During the same period, hotspots in South Kalimantan decreased by 55.35%, from 1,998 to 892.

In West Kalimantan, the number decreased by 38.97%, from 626 to 382.

"In other provinces (Riau and Jambi), the number of hotspots generally decreased in the third week of October 2023. This is what we actually hoped for, and it's in line with our initial calculations. With the rainy season and the weather conditions we expect, it should be starting to shift from dry to wet," said Abdul.
