BMKG detects 3,663 hotspots across Sumatra
Original: BMKG deteksi lonjakan 3.663 titik panas di Pulau Sumatera Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika (BMKG) Stasiun Pek
Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), through its Pekanbaru station in Riau province, has detected a sharp rise of 3,663 hotspots across Sumatra. The spike points to widespread land and forest fires on the island, a recurring problem during dry seasons that drives hazardous haze across Riau and neighbouring regions. Authorities are monitoring the affected areas as residents and officials voice concern over deteriorating air quality.
Why now: Rising hotspots signal worsening forest fires and potential haze, a pressing seasonal concern in Indonesia.
