GARISBUMI.com – The reduction in hot spots in the six priority provinces does not mean the threat of forest and land fires has ended. Field reports still record fire and smoke in a number of locations in Central Kalimantan (Kalteng).

The number of hot spots or Hotspots with a high level of confidence nationally increased by 89 percent to 189 spots during monitoring Monday, November 2 2026, at 21.00 WIB. At the same time, officers are still dealing with fire and smoke at a number of forest and land fire locations in Central Kalimantan (Kalteng), including on peatlands.

The Ministry of Forestry's SiPongi data sourced from NASA Terra/Aqua, SNPP and NOAA-20 satellite monitoring shows an addition of 89 points compared to the previous day, when 100 Hotspots were detected.
