For
Residents tracking smoke and fire risk in Central Kalimantan
Worth noticing
Regency counts use approximate bounding boxes; air readings use the nearest atmospheric-model station, not necessarily a ground sensor.

Field notes

Fire counts for six named Central Kalimantan regencies are calculated from approximate bounding boxes, while air readings use the nearest model station. Its seven-point risk index adds points for heat above 32°C, humidity below 40%, wind above 20 km/h, and rainfall below 1 mm; the page explicitly calls this a planning indicator, not an official forecast. It links out to NASA FIRMS, Open-Meteo, OpenStreetMap, BMKG, and Indonesia’s SIPONGI system.
